Oysters in a Grilled Pouch
Enjoy this oyster dish with friends over the summer holidays (Memorial Day Weekend, Fourth of July, Labor Day Weekend) or anytime you want a quick meal that healthy fresh and away from the hot kitchen.
Ingredients:
24 oysters, cleaned and scrubbed |
1 (13 oz.) can of plum tomatoes (seedless) |
1 cup of chopped Italian parsley, oregano, bay leaves, and thyme |
1 tsp. of red pepper flakes |
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter |
1/2 cup of white wine |
1 head of garlic |
2 cups of steamed rice |
Instructions:
1 | Line up 4ft. of aluminum foil (look for a grade sturdy enough to handle the grill) |
2 | Add oysters into the center and layer the rest of the ingredients on top. |
3 | Seal the aluminum pouch tightly but leave room at the edges (2 inches) or at the top if bunching/sealing like a bag room for the steam to fill. |
4 | Keep the grill on high and add the pouch ( shut the lid of the grill.) Let the oyster pouch cook for 15-18 mins. The steam will open the oyster shells and allow the herbs and other seasonings to flavor the oysters. |
5 | Serve in bowls with the oyster liquid, a few tablespoon of rice, and your favorite crusty multi-grain or whole wheat loaf of fresh bread. Also great with a side salad. |
Cook's Tips:
Add fresh lemon or lime slices to each serving as well as your favorite hot sauce. Most oysters should open from steam, discard any that do that open.
