Recipe: Oysters Bleu
Serves 2 to 3Ingredients
- 8 ounces olive oil
- 8 ounces bleu cheese crumbles
- 12 ounces corn flour
- 1 ounce Creole seasoning
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
- 4 slices red onion rounds (pick your favorite 4 to 6 rings)
- 7 Louisiana oysters (any Gulf Coast oyster will do)
Directions
In a mixing bowl, stir in equal parts olive oil and bleu cheese crumbles. It’s good to let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Pre-heat frying oil, lard, tallow or your favorite tasty fat to 350 degrees in a vessel deep enough to submerge your oysters. It’s important to have enough oil to completely cover the oysters. Season corn flour with Creole seasoning to taste. Dredge 7 Louisiana oysters through the corn flour, then deep-fry until golden. Remove from oil and place on a towel. On a platter, spread shredded lettuce and place red onion rounds atop the lettuce. Then lay the 7 perfectly fried Louisiana oysters across the onions. Finally, drizzle the bleu cheese oil over the oysters. Bon Appetit!
