MARIA CALLAS' OYSTERS

MARIA CALLAS' OYSTERS image

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

24 oysters
2 lemons
1 bundle of parsley leaves
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp flour
olive oil
salt ground black pepper

Steps:

Open oysters and remove the muscles from the shell. Save prettier halves of shells for serving. Wash oysters. Add lemon juice, 3/4 of chopped parsley and some pepper. Marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes. Using a fork, lightly beat egg yolk with a little salt and 3 Tbsp cold water, stir in flour and let rest in the fridge for 10 minutes. Pour the batter over marinated oysters and gently stir. In the meantime heat oil in a deep pan for deep frying. Fry oysters only a little so the batter becomes crunchy (that's only a minute or even less), then drain on a paper towel. Try to avoid overcooking. Oysters are meant to be eaten raw, or almost raw. Serve inside the shells with thin slices of lemon, parsley and freshly ground black pepper.

This recipe came from a fund raiser cookbook for an elementary school in New Orleans. They have the texture and taste of a very light cake donut. Excellent with coffee in the morning, with or without a dusting of sugar. To save on prep time when you serve these for breakfast, mix everything together except the self rising flour the night before , and refrigerate overnight. Stir in the flour in the morning and proceed. Cooking time is included in the prep time because it is not passive. With my deep fryer cooking time is about 10 minutes. 4 batches of 6 fritters.
