Ranch Oyster Rockefeller Dip image

OMG, OMG, OMG! One of my all-time oyster favorites ... in a dip! I plan to serve this with toasted baguette slices... or maybe toasted pita pieces... or maybe just a spoon! Will make for DF next visit while the oysters are still winter fat. Got this in my email - from gourmet_recipes_from_around_the_world. Attributed to "CHILI PEPPER MAGAZINE". Thank you ringwraith, you are my hero!

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs frozen spinach (chopped)
12 ounces bacon, smoked, finely diced
1 cup white onion, finely diced
2 ounces butter
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1 pint oyster, shucked in their liquid
1 ounce anisette
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Drain all of the liquid from the spinach.
  • Over medium flame, slowly brown bacon to render all of the fat, keeping fat in pan.
  • Add the onions, butter, salt and pepper, and chipotle powder. Saute slowly until onions are lightly caramelized.
  • Add oysters with juice and simmer until juice is fully reduced. Stir often to break oysters into small pieces.
  • Add spinach and stir for about 1 minute to fully incorporate the seasoning.
  • Add anisette, heavy cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer several minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, cool, and refrigerate for later use.
  • To serve, heat to a simmer and serve warm in a chafing dish in a dip bowl.
