Ingredients:
1 cookie sheet filled with rock salt.
2 dozen oysters, opened and on the half shell
4 medium shallots, minced (about ¼ cup)
1 small stalk of celery, minced
¼ cup fresh parsley minced
½ lb sweet butter
2 cups fresh spininch coarsely chopped
1/3 cup soft bread crumbs (French bread)
1-2 drops Worcestershire sauce
Dash of ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Place the tins with the rock salt in the oven. Prepare the
oysters. Saute shallots, celery and parsley in 4 tbsp of butter
in a heavy skillet. Add spinach to the skillet and let it wilt
for a minute. Pour spinach mixture into an electric blender with
the remaining butter, bread crumbs and seasonings. Blend for 1
minute. Top each oyster with about 1 tablespoon of this mixture.
Remove the tins from the oven and embed the oysters firmly in
the hot salt. Return pans to the oven and bake for about 4
minutes or until the butter is melted and oysters have curled
slightly. Serve oysters right in the tin.
