Have you ever heard of a man named John D. Rockefeller, at one time the richest man in the world? If you have, then perhaps you’ve also heard of the delicious seafood dish bearing his namesake: oysters rockefeller. This famous dish was created by the son of Antoine Alciatore, the proprietor of the well-known New Orleans restaurant, Antoine’s. Purportedly invented when confronted with a lack of fresh snails to use, oysters rockefeller has since been copied many times over by other local New Orleans chefs. But the jury is still out as to whether they’ve ever gotten the recipe quite right, seeing as how it has never left the Alciatore family’s hands since its creation. Though other chefs can guess, there’s no way to beat an original; I recommend making the pilgrimage to Antoine’s as soon as humanly possible.
In the meantime, while your taste buds are aching for the authentic buttery richness of the Antoine’s dish, learn how to make a pretty darn good version of oysters rockefeller right here at ExpertVillage. Our chef will walk you through this recipe step-by-step, with special consideration for preparing the oysters, including instructions on how to clean and shuck them. Also get an ingredient list, learn how to prepare the vegetables, create the sauce, and bring it all together. Also get a quick recipe for an oyster stew.
Bon appetit!
