OYSTERS THAT ROCK A FELLA AS MADE BY DEBORAH VANTRECE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Shuck the oysters. Discard the empty shells and arrange the oysters on the half shell on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and half of the garlic butter. Let sit until ready to use so the panko absorbs the butter.
• Return the skillet with the remaining garlic butter to medium heat. Add the jalapeño, shallot, fennel, parsley, and collard greens. Cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes, or until the collard greens are wilted. Add the salt, pepper, and sherry. Cook for 5 minutes more to meld the flavors. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Meanwhile, to the bowl with the bread crumbs, add the olive oil, Parmesan, and bacon. Toss to incorporate.
• Spread a generous layer of rock salt on a large ovenproof baking dish or platter. Top the oysters with a spoonful each of the collard green mixture and bread crumb mixture. Arrange the oysters on the platter, nestling the shells into the salt. Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheesy bread crumbs have browned.
• While the oysters bake, make the mignonette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peach, honey, vinegar, shallot, chives, and pepper.
• To serve, top each oyster with a bit of mignonette.
• Enjoy!

OYSTERS ROCK YOUR FELLA

Steps:

• Place a fine mesh strainer over a wide mouth bowl. Shuck the oysters over the bowl and drain all of the oyster liqueur into it, catching any stray sand or shell in the strainer.
• Pour the kosher salt into a sheet pan and nestle the oysters down into the salt.
• Cook the bacon in a skillet set over medium heat until it's almost crisp, then transfer to a paper towel lined plate. When it's cool enough to touch, dice the bacon and set it aside.
• Roughly chop the spinach and sauté in the rendered bacon fat until it's wilted and all the water has evaporated.
• Combine the shallots, Sauvignon Blanc, and lemon juice in a saucepan over high heat and reduce by half.
• Add the heavy cream and bring to a slow boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, a little bit at a time, whisking constantly. Don't add more butter until what you've already added is thoroughly combined. Continue whisking until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the hot sauce, parsley, spinach, crumbled bacon and the reserved oyster liqueur. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Evenly distribute the sauce onto the oysters and top with the Parmesan cheese. Place under the broiler for 5 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese starts to brown.
• Serve immediately with a loaf of crusty bread, a lemon wedge and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Lay the oysters on top of the salt or foil. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the sauce mixture on top of the oysters. Broil until just golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve hot, with a squeeze of lemon on top, if you like.
