Oysters Rockefeller Recipe
This Oysters Rockefeller recipe keeps it pretty traditional except for the added touch of dried tarragon to round out the richness with a light anise flavor. You should eat these any time you can get fresh oysters really, but especially on Valentine’s Day. Science hasn’t actually proven that oysters are an aphrodisiac, but what else do you need to get you in the mood besides a fancy af app and some champagne to go with it?

- In a mixing bowl, combine panko and half the garlic butter from the pan. Set aside.
- In the pan with the other half of the garlic butter, add shallots, spinach, and tarragon and cook for 3 minutes or until spinach wilts. Add white wine and reduce by half. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450º.
