SPINACH AND CRISPY OYSTER SALAD WITH ROSEMARY-DIJON DRESSING

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the oysters, then dry them thoroughly on paper towels. On a plate or pie tin, combine the bread crumbs and herbs. Dip the oysters in frothy egg whites and then in herbed bread crumbs. Press the oysters in the crumbs to ensure an even coating. Lay the oysters on a tray in one layer and set aside or refrigerate (uncovered) until ready to cook. Prepare the spinach and divide among four plates. Arrange mushroom slices around the spinach. Heat 1 inch of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oysters and cook until evenly golden brown, about 4 minutes. Divide oysters evenly among the four plates. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with scallions. Serve immediately.
• Whisk together the shallots, vinegar, mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is creamy and emulsified. Stir in the rosemary and season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more oil if the dressing is too sharp.
• For this dish, I suggest panfrying in olive oil because I love the flavor, but you can use any neutral vegetable oil, such as canola or peanut. Either way, you should use enough oil to completely cover the bottom of the pan, and make sure it gets good and hot (but not smoking). To reduce spattering when frying, see that your oysters are dry before dipping them into the egg white and bread crumbs. You might also invest in a spatter screen, which is inexpensive and works well. If your mushrooms aren't nice enough to use raw, you can sauté them.

BREADED OYSTERS WITH SPINACH

Steps:

• Cover the palm of your hand with a folded kitchen towel, and place an oyster in the center. With an oyster knife, scrape away any barnacles. Wipe the knife and thrust it into the hinge of the shell. Run the knife around the oyster and flip it open. Discard the top shell. Cut the muscle that holds the meat to the shell and transfer the meat and oyster brine to a saucepan. Repeat with remaining oysters.
• Place the saucepan over medium heat, bring the juices to a simmer and poach the oysters 1 minute, flipping them once while cooking. Transfer the oysters to a plate, and reserve the juices.
• In a small mixing bowl, beat the egg.
• Dip the oysters in the egg. Then, dredge them in the bread crumbs, tapping to remove excess. Set aside.
• Strain the reserved cooking juices through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, and cook over medium heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Using a wire whisk, beat in the lemon juice and 6 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Set aside.

• In another nonstick pan large enough to hold the oysters in a single layer, melt the 4 remaining tablespoons butter over high heat. When the butter begins to bubble, add the oysters and cook on one side until slightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip the oysters gently, and cook a minute or so, just until golden brown.
• Divide the spinach over 4 warmed serving plates. Spoon the sauce around the spinach. Arrange 6 oysters on each plate over the sauce. Sprinkle the border of the plate with paprika for color.
