LC Eat Your Greens Note
Well, sneaking greens into an oysters dish laced with Pernod is certainly one way to get folks to eat your, er, their greens.
Oysters Rockefeller
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
Fill 4 tin pie plates with rock salt and arrange 6 oysters on the half shell on each.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the parsley, celery, shallots, and garlic and cook 3 minutes. Add the watercress and fennel and cook until the watercress wilts, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a food processor, add the remaining ingredients, and blend until the sauce is thoroughly puréed.
Place 1 tablespoon sauce on each oyster and spread to the rim of the shell. Bake the oysters just until the sauce bubbles, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
