Oysters Rockefeller

Ingredients

• 36 fresh oysters on the half shell
• 6 tbs butter
• 6 tbs finely minced raw spinach
• 3 tbs minced onion
• 3 tbs minced parsley
• 5 tbs bread crumbs
• ½ tsp Herbsaint (or Pernod)
• ½ tsp salt
• Tabasco sauce to taste

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add all the ingredients except the oysters. Cook, constantly stirring for 15 minutes, then press the mixture through a sieve or a food mill and allow to cool.
2. Line six pie tins with rock salt and set 6 oysters in the rock salt on each pie tin. Divide the topping into 36 equal portions and place one portion on each oyster.
3. Broil until topping is brown, splash the top of the cooked oysters with anise liquor and serve immediately. This will yield 6 portions of six oysters.
