Pan Fried Oysters With Lemon Truffle Aioli Food

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

FRIED OYSTERS WITH PICKLED GINGER AIOLI

Steps:

• Pickled Ginger: Combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Add sliced ginger to the pan, and immediately remove from heat. Pour into small mixing bowl and allow to cool, 6-8 hours. (Pickled ginger will keep for up to one month in a lidded container in the refrigerator.)
• Fried Oysters: Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, gently detach oysters from their shells with a spoon; place meat into a small bowl, making sure they are clean of shells. Wash and reserve the shells. Next, whisk egg yolks and a splash of water in a small bowl to create an egg wash.
• Dredge each oyster in flour; then coat in egg wash, followed by breadcrumbs. Handling carefully, tap off any excess coating. They should be lightly breaded. Fry oysters in 375 degrees F oil, several at a time, for no more than 20-25 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel. The outside should be golden brown while the inside is barely cooked.
• To serve, place each oyster in a clean, dry shell. Top with a small dollop of aioli and a slivered slice of pickled ginger.
• In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and a pitch of salt until smooth and emulsified. Add grapeseed oil very slowly, drop by drop to start, then in a fine drizzle, whisking constantly to emulsify with the yolks. Add olive oil in the same manner. The mixture should thick and emulsified. Add vinegar, lemon juice and zest, and whisk again until doubled in volume. Add the soy sauce and stir to combine; fold in the garlic and pickled ginger. Let sit to let flavors come together, about 1 hour. Taste and season as necessary, perhaps with a bit of pickling liquid. (Can be made up to one week in advance.)

OYSTERS WITH TRUFFLE FROTH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Shuck the oysters. Discard the top shell. Strain oysters and oyster liquor (see Cook's Note*) through fine sieve into a ceramic or glass bowl. Cover in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Scrub the bottoms shells of the oysters under running water and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
• Turn oven to broil.
• Drain 2/3 of the liquid from the oysters for the sauce and set aside. Make a 1-inch bed of salt in a large pan. Evenly space the cleaned oyster shells on the salt bed with the outside edge of the shell facing down. Place 1 oyster on each shell. Place 1 drop of truffle oil on each oyster (truffle oil is potent so use sparingly). Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the froth over each oyster. Place the pan under the broiler until the froth turns golden brown, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
• In a small bowl lightly froth the egg yolks with the hand held blender.
• In a heavy bottomed saucepan bring the oyster liquor and cream just to the boil. Reduce the heat to low. Pour 1/3 of the mixture into the 2 egg yolks and froth with the hand held blender. Slowly add the frothed egg mixture to the saucepan. Immediately begin frothing the mixture in the saucepan over low heat. Pour froth over truffle laced oysters on the half shell.

SHOESTRING FRIES WITH TRUFFLE AIOLI

Steps:

• Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F.
• Carefully cut the potatoes into shoestrings (or matchsticks) using a mandolin fitted with the narrowest julienne blade (about 1/8-inch wide). Rinse the cut potatoes thoroughly in a bowl of cold water to remove the surface starch. Keep the potatoes in water until you're ready to fry.
• For the aioli: Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, truffle oil, garlic, lemon zest and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Refrigerate or set aside until ready to use.
• Transfer the potatoes to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and pat them dry, as dry as you can get them. I like to use a kitchen towel for this too; whatever gets them the driest.
• Fry the shoestrings in batches until the potatoes are crisp and turn a nice golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. As each batch of fries comes out, transfer to a large mixing bowl and toss with some of the chopped herbs, a drizzle of the truffle oil and salt to taste. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Serve with the truffle aioli.

FRIED OYSTER SANDWICHES WITH LEMON AIOLI

Steps:

• Begin by heating the oil in a Dutch oven to 365 degrees.
• While the oil heats, make the Lemon Aioli: Simply mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and chill until serving.
• Next, prepare a dredging station: In the first bowl, mix together the egg, milk, and tabasco. In the second bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper.
• Dip the drained and dried oysters in the milk mixture, and then in the flour mixture. Place the coated oysters on a plate.
• When the oil has reached 365 degrees, fry six oysters at a time, for about two minutes. Turn the oysters so that they get golden brown all over. Drain the cooked oysters on a wire rack over a pan. Let the oil come up to 365 degrees again, and then fry the next six oysters. Repeat until all the oysters are done.
• Spread some Lemon Aioli on each roll, and add six oysters and some lettuce and tomato.
