Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Basil |
| 1 | Serrano chilies |
| 1 | Garlic |
| 2 | Fish sauce |
| 1 | Lime juice |
| 1 | Heavy cream |
| 1 | Canola oil |
| 1/4 | Spinach |
| Bread crumbs (for topping) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Sautee: Begin by preheating a sauteeing pan over medium heat. Add a splash of canola oil to the pan, then sautรฉ the garlic and serrano chilies until they turn golden brown and shiny.
-
Deglaze: Once the garlic and chilies are nicely sautรฉed, pour in the fish sauce and lime juice. Stir well to deglaze the pan, incorporating all the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom.
-
-
Add Greens: Next, add the spinach and basil to the pan. Allow them to cook until they wilt and become soft, absorbing the savory flavors of the sauce.
-
Puree Mixture: After the greens have cooked down, remove excess water from the pan. While still hot, transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Then, pour in the heavy cream and blend until well combined.
-
Prepare Oysters: Arrange the fresh oysters on a baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of the puree mixture onto each oyster, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle a layer of bread crumbs over the top for added texture and flavor.
-
Broil: Preheat your oven’s broiler setting. Place the baking sheet with the prepared oysters under the broiler and cook until the topping turns a beautiful golden brown. Be careful not to overcook the oysters; you want them to remain tender and juicy.
-
Serve: Once the oysters are golden and bubbling, remove them from the oven. Serve immediately while they’re still hot and bursting with flavor.
