How to make Antoine’s Oysters Rockefeller
Antoine’s oysters are a New York original served with three sauces: oyster sauce, sweet sauce, and spicy Italian. The oyster Rockefeller is one of the most popular variations on Antoine’s regular oyster appetizer. Using two types of crab – crabmeat and crabapples – Antoine’s Oyster Rockefeller combines crab chunks with sweet corn, bacon, caramelized onions, melted butter, and lemon.
Ingredients
- Rock salt (to taste)
- oysters in shells (chilled), 12
- Butter, 4 tablespoon
- Flour, 4 tablespoon
- Cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon
- Scallions (minced), 6
- Ribs celery (minced), 2
- Sprigs tarragon (stemmed & minced), 2
- Sprigs parsley (stemmed & minced), 6
- Salt & white pepper (to taste)
- Bread crumbs, 3 tablespoon
Instructions
Step 1
Sprinkle half of the rock salt in two oven-safe baking dishes.
Step 2
Catch the liquid from oysters by shucking them over a bowl. Using a knife, remove oysters from bottom shells and discard flat top shells. Place six oysters per baking dish on a bed of rock salt. Chill.
Step 3
Melt butter in a saucepan of two quarts. Whisk flour into butter, cooking for about two minutes until smooth. About two minutes after adding the oyster liquid, stir until the mixture thickens to a paste.
Step 4
Stir in the celery, cayenne, tarragon, parsley, scallions, salt, and white pepper. Cover and cook on medium heat until soft, about one hour.
Step 5
Process the bread crumbs in a food processor for about two minutes to make a smooth paste.
Step 6
Preheat the broiler to high. Paste should be placed in a pastry bag with a 1/2-inch fluted tip. Spread the paste over the oysters completely.
Step 7
The oysters should be just cooked through and the paste will begin to brown, about 5 – 7 minutes. Serve immediately.
