Daphne Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Time to invite myself round to some random Omleteer for supper again I like them raw best, the French often slosh a little gentle vinaigrette made with shallot into it as well. I've had them hot with a breadcumb/parsley/chopped onion topping and also hot with a splosh of calvados and cheese and possibly cream Well it was Normandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Rachel Khoo did 4 different ways with oysters for an appetizer. Here's the Youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRJtII0qGkY & there are no comments on this video. I have to say all things that look like that or have tentacles do not appeal to me . I do like scallops though, without all their gubbins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Raw,they make me heave But lightly grilled with a sprinkle of parmesan,a touch of chilli & maybe a drop of white wine,they are heaven. Try looking on the BBC good food site for more recipes - I do believe they also go well in a steak pie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyhole kate Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thank you for the link and suggestions I am going to try both recipies. As suggested by Cinnamon the BBC website has loads of recipies I think everyone here will be sick of the sight of them If anyone lives close enough to me to want some please please PM me I hate the Idea of waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Perhaps it would be easier to start your own Oyster farm!! Perhaps you'll find a few pearls? I personally couldn't stomach them. Although I like cockles , mussels in garlic & scallops with the nasty bits removed. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
