Oysters are filter feeders, so they help keep the waters they live in clean. They're a sustainable choice. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted |
2 (1-ounce) slices white bread |
cooking spray |
1 ounce finely chopped pancetta or cured bacon |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
18 shucked oysters on the half shell |
6 lemon wedges |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Combine nuts and bread in a mini food processor; process until coarsely ground. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat, and lightly coat pan with cooking spray. Add pancetta; sauté for 2 minutes or until crisp, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in pine nut mixture, parsley, and black pepper. Carefully arrange oysters in a single layer on a broiler pan, and spoon 1 tablespoon bread mixture onto each oyster. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes or until oysters are opaque. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
