PAN FRIED OYSTERS WITH LEMON TRUFFLE AIOLI

Steps:

• 1 Make the aioli. 2 Chop the panko breadcrumbs in a food processor to break them into fine granules. 3 Mix the flour with the salt & pepper. 4 Set up a three-stage breading station - flour, egg, panko bread crumbs. 5 Heat 1/3″ of high heat oil (grapeseed, vegetable oil, etc) in a deep frying pan until it shimmers. 6 Toss the oysters in the seasoned flour, then dip them in the egg, then toss them in the breadcrumbs. 7 Test the oil with a few breadcrumbs. When it's hot enough to fry (the oil bubbles around the test crumbs), gently lay in the oysters. Take care not to crowd the pan. 8 As each side of the oysters crisps and turns golden brown, turn them to cook the other sides. 9 When the oysters are done, move them to paper towels to drain off the excess oil. 10 Serve with the white truffle lemon aioli either spread on the plate or in a separate dish for dipping. Garnish with chive blossoms & fresh chives if desired. Browse More: Oyster Recipes Truffle Recipes
