Deep Fried Oysters
Gosh these were good!
Needed for this recipe:
• A low-smoke point, high-in antioxidants UP-certified olive oil. (I chose our Garlic Olive Oil and it worked marvelously)
Ingredients:
• A low-smoke point, high-in antioxidants UP-certified olive oil. (I chose our garlic oil and it worked marvellously)
• Fresh Oysters
• 1 Egg white
• Panko Bread Crumbs
• Peppadew pepper diced finely
• Mock Persian Lime Aioli* (a blend of Hellman’s mayonnaise and Persian Lime Oil)
* this works well with other oils, such as Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co Chipotle, or Lemon.
Recipe:
Pat oysters dry.
Blend bread crumbs, and Peppadews. Drag oysters through egg white and then bread crumb mixture.
Use a deep fryer set to 375 degrees. Once your oil has reached this temperature, drop your oysters in, one at a time. Don’t add too many or it will cool the oil. Let deep fry approximately 2 minutes, depending on oyster size, until batter is crisp and oyster is cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Serve with a mock aioli of your choice. Please note: a good deep fry should have a crisp, not soggy or oily outside coating and the oyster should be ‘steamed’ inside. It shouldn’t be greasy!
