Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Dairy, Citrus
Yield: 2 Servings

MMMMM-------------------------SALT PASTE------------------------------
1/2 c Kosher salt
1 1/2 tb Water

MMMMM--------------------------OYSTERS-------------------------------
1 lg Leek; halved lengthwise,
- washed
2 tb Minced bacon
1 c Heavy cream
1 cl Garlic; minced
1 tb Lemon
1 ts Smoked paprika
1/2 c Panko breadcrumbs
pn (ea) salt & pepper
8 md Oysters; shucked, meat
- removed & chilled, shells
- cleaned & reserved

Shuck oysters, remove meat and chill in the refrigerator
until ready to use. Clean and reserve the shells

Combine water and kosher salt to make salt paste. Set
aside

Preheat grill or broiler to high. Char leek halves,
split-side-down for 3-4 minutes. Remove leeks to a
cutting board when cool enough to handle and slice thinly

Place leeks to a small saucepan. Add heavy cream and
simmer over medium-low heat, 20-25 minutes, until sauce
is very thick

Meanwhile, cook minced bacon in a small sauté pan over
medium heat until very crisp, about 10 minutes

Remove from heat and to the pan with the bacon add
garlic, lemon zest, smoked paprika and breadcrumbs. Mix
to combine ingredients and season with salt and pepper to
taste

Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC

In a baking dish, place 8 mounds of salt paste (to
stabilize the oyster shells while baking; 4 oysters are
demonstrated in the video but the recipe makes enough
sauce and breadcrumb mixture for 8 oysters)

Place one reserved oyster shell on each mound of salt
paste. Remove cream mixture from heat and spoon about 1
tbsp into each shell

Place oyster meat on top and pack breadcrumb mixture on
each oyster

Bake for 7 minutes (or broil on high 2-3 minutes).

Transfer to a serving platter atop mounds of salt paste
and serve.
