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 sautΓ© the garlic and serrano chilies until they turn golden brown and shiny.
-
Deglaze: Once the garlic and chilies are nicely sautΓ©ed, 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.
