Smoked Oyster Caesar Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, Worcestershire and 2 teaspoons salt in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment or in a blender until thoroughly combined. With the machine running, add the vegetable oil very slowly to make an emulsified dressing.
• Drain the oysters from their oil, reserving 1 tablespoon of the oil for the croutons. Add the drained oysters to the dressing and pulse until smooth.
• Combine crackers, olive oil, black pepper and remaining teaspoon salt with the reserved oyster oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, tossing often, until the crackers are toasty. Set aside to cool.
• Put a spoonful of the dressing on each plate. Place a romaine heart half face-up on the dressing, then drizzle with additional dressing. Top with croutons, cracked black pepper and Pecorino-Romano.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler with oven rack 5 inches from the heat. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Spread the butter evenly on both sides of the bread, and place on the prepared pan. Broil in preheated oven until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
• Spread 1 ½ tablespoons Deviled Egg Spread onto each toasted bread slice. Sprinkle evenly with chopped egg whites and diced celery. Cut each slice into 4 triangles.
• Top each triangle with smoked oysters and about ¼ teaspoon of trout roe. Garnish with chopped chives, and serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce.
• Serve with: Green salads; potato, tomato, or egg dishes; grilled vegetables

Steps:

• Preheat an electric smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Shuck oysters and add them to a bowl along with their liquor. Add salt and let marinate for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wash 1/2 of the shells. Drain liquor from the oysters and place an oyster in each half shell.
• Place shells directly on the grate and smoke for 1 1/2 hours. Top each oyster with a dash of Worcestershire sauce before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash oysters with a fork. Mix in cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon pepper.
