This photo was my first attempt to cook Oyster Rockefeller at home 3 Years Ago, Fair Oaks, CA 💗
In our recent Lunch Excursion at Sam's Chowder House in Half Moon Bay, I did not hesitate to order my favorite seafood Dish-Oyster Rockefeller. As a matter of fact, one of the THD residents in our Lunch Group mentioned that the reason why I went to Sam's was just to order the dish and he is correct in his statement.
My 2 beautiful Lunch Dates- Mary Ann DeWald and Linda Lachick
The other members of our lunch group asked me what is Oyster Rockefeller and I simply told them it has spinach, cheese, garlic, onions, breaded and baked. However, the link below is the complete and detailed of the history and variations of these delightful dish for your reading pleasure and information in case you are not familiar with this dish.💚💚
Oysters Rockefeller is a classic seafood recipe originating from the United States, and it has become an iconic dish in American cuisine ever since. The name “Oysters Rockefeller” is derived from John D. Rockefeller, one of the wealthiest individuals in the history of the United States. While there are numerous stories about its origin, one thing is sure - it’s a delicious delicacy everyone should enjoy!
The original Oysters Rockefeller recipe remains a closely guarded secret, but some common elements are prominent in most contemporary versions. Fresh oysters are the dish's centerpiece, nestled within their half shells and topped with a delectable blend of creamed spinach, butter, breadcrumbs, herbs, and a generous splash of liquor. The concoction is then broiled or baked to create a delightful warm crust, enhancing the natural flavors of the oysters with unparalleled richness. In some recipes a dash of Pernod Absinthe or White wine is added to the sauce during the cooking of the spinach/'herbs/onions/garlic sautéed mixture.
The luxurious flavors of Oysters Rockefeller pair beautifully with a range of drinks and dishes to provide an elegant dining experience. Sparkling wines or champagne often complement the rich oyster flavors, while a classic white wine, such as Sancerre or Sauvignon Blanc, can balance the sauce's richness.
Oysters Bienville, on the other hand, also comes to us from New Orleans. It was named in honor of an early governor Louisiana, Jean de Baptiste Le Moyne Sieur de Bienville.
These two are very elegant dishes . They are the epitome of style and sophistication and the very embodiment of living the good life.
