Oyster Pan Roast With Sea Urchin Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until they are translucent and beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the chardonnay, bring to a lively simmer, and reduce until only about 2 tablespoons of liquid remains. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and reduce to 2/3 cup. Remove from the heat, stir in the white pepper, and set aside.
• Preheat the oven broiler to 500 degrees F. Arrange the top oven rack so a roasting pan will fit below the heating element. Prepare appetizer plates by placing a bed of rock salt on each, to hold the oysters. Distribute the rock salt evenly between to roasting pans large enough to hold the oysters.
• If the fishmonger shucked your oysters, return the oysters to their cleaned shells one by one, and add about 1/2 teaspoon of the oyster liquid to each, nesting the shells carefully in the rock salt so the contents don't spill. Otherwise, arrange freshly shucked oysters in the rock salt-filled roasting pans, ensuring that their liquid doesn't spill.
• Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the shallot-cream mixture on top of each oyster. Coat each oyster well, without having the shell overflow with liquid. Put one roasting pan in the oven and broil just until the liquid bubbles and the oysters' edges begin to curl, about 3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Repeat with the other roasting pan. Carefully lift 4 oysters in their shells onto each appetizer plate. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In the top part of a double boiler set over water boiling on high heat, combine clam juice, butter, celery salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Once butter melts, add the oysters and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add chili sauce and stir well. Add half-and-half and cook for a few minutes until the cream is hot and almost simmering, but not boiling.
• Add a slice of white toast to a warm 9-inch soup bowl and underline with a slightly larger plate. Using a slotted spoon, transfer oysters over the toast in soup bowl. Pour soup over the oysters, filling to about 1/4-inch beneath the rim. Garnish with a dash of paprika and serve with oyster crackers.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion and minced garlic; cook over moderate heat until softened, 5 minutes. Add the vermouth; boil over moderately high heat until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the oyster liquor and fish stock and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the cream and simmer over moderate heat until the sauce coats a spoon, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice; season with salt.
• Meanwhile whisk the uni tongues and softened butter together to make the Uni Butter.
• Add the oysters to the sauce with a little oyster liquid and butter. Add the tarragon and remaining lemon juice and cook over moderately low heat until warmed through, 2 minutes.
• Divide the oysters among 4 bowls, add sauce and sprinkle with the cayenne pepper. Serve with the toasts that have been spread with the Uni Butter.

Steps:

• Place a sieve over a large mixing bowl. Using a rubber spatula, pass sea urchin through sieve. Season with salt and one-quarter of the lemon juice, then purée in a food processor. Add butter gradually until compound is creamy and still tastes strongly of uni. (You may find that you do not need full amount of butter.) Check seasoning, adding salt and lemon juice to taste, then transfer to small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place a heavy pan over medium heat and add olive oil. When it shimmers, add shallots and cook gently until soft. Add garlic and continue to cook for 5 minutes, until garlic is soft as well. Add vermouth and reduce until slightly dry. Add fish stock and reduce by a third.
• Add cream and reduce until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir frequently so that onions do not stick to bottom of pot. Add oysters and their liquor and cook until meat slightly curls at edges, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and lemon juice. Place in warmed bowls.
• Spread a layer of sea-urchin butter across pieces of toast and serve alongside pan roast.

Steps:

Add cream and bring barely to a simmer (do not let boil).
