Oyster Casserole
I bought a quart of fresh oyster meat on 3 Jun and decided to make this. This is easy and delicious. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 4 cups oyster meat, rinsed and drained well, (2 pints / 1 quart)
- ⅓ cup extra light olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely minced
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs, Shortcut
- ¼ cup lemon or lime juice
- 6 spring onions, sliced, white and green parts
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200° C (400° F). Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter. This is the container that oyster meat comes in at Tesco, I will verify the amount of containers needed when I make this. I think there is 1 cup of oyster meat in a container, and these cost 49 Baht ($1.53) each.
- Here is the oyster meat, in brine, from local fishermen, and they deliver as well. Each bag has 2 cups (1 pint) of oyster meat, drained, these cost 50 Baht ($1.56) each. You can see the savings by buying from a local fisherman, and these are fresh as well.
- In a mixing bowl, add the olive oil, garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, and lime or lemon juice, mix together.
- Add the oysters to the dish and spread out to an even layer.
- Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the oysters.
- Sprinkle on the cheese.
- Sprinkle on the spring onion.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping browned.
- Serve with a side or two of your choice. Enjoy.
Notes
I used a quart of oyster meat, drained, from a local fisherman, cost was 100 Baht. For 6 servings, this is about 52 cents per serving.
