Fried Oysters and Roasted Garlic and Chive Pappardelle

Dinner Tonight: Fried Oysters and Roasted Garlic and Chive Pappardelle





For Breakfast this Friday morning I prepared a Toasted Ham and Cheese Sandwich. I used Boar's Head Sweet Sliced Ham, a half slice of Boar's Head Longhorn Colby Cheese, and toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread. Also made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Not a lot going on today. After Lunch went over to the rehab center and spent the afternoon with Dad. For Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Oysters and Roasted Garlic and Chive Pappardelle.





I love Fried Oysters, just don’t have them that often. So I'm going to correct that by starting to have them more often. Had these about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it's time to have them again!  To prepare them I’ll need; 12 large-medium Oysters (shucked), 1 tablespoon Flour, 1/4 cup Egg Beaters, 1 cup Shake and Bake Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs, Sea Salt and Pepper (to taste), 2 to 3 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil. Lemon Wedges, Hot sauce, Seafood Cocktail Sauce are all optional.






I used Hilton’s Fresh Farm Raised Pacific Willapoint Oysters. To prepare them; Place shucked oysters in a colander rinse in cold water and drain. Dredge drained oysters in the Flour, then Egg Beater’s, and then in Panko Crumbs seasoned with Sea Salt and Pepper (coating each oyster thoroughly). Set aside to dry at least 1/2 hour. An easy way to coat the oysters with the Panko Crumbs is to place the Crumbs in a resealable plastic bag, add egg-dipped oysters, seal bag, and then shake.






Next, heat Oil in a frying pan (I like to use my cast-iron frying pan) to 370 degrees F. or until quite

hot. Fry oysters until golden brown on one side, then turn over each oysters carefully to brown the other side, approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side Fry oyster until golden brown and edges are curled. Do not overcook or overcrowd in frying pan. Remove from frying pan and serve immediately. Serve with Lemons Wedges, Tartar Sauce, Cocktail Sauce and/or your favorite hot sauce. I served mine with some Tarter Sauce with a side of my favorite hot sauce Frank’s Hot Sauce. I don’t know why I don’t have these more often! They’re so delicious, golden brown, and with an incredible fresh flavor.



To go with the Fried Oysters I'm having Buitoni Roasted Garlic and Chive Pappardelle. I've tried
several of the Buitoni Products but first time having the  Roasted Garlic and Chive Pappardelle. Pappardelle is wide cut flat Pasta Ribbons but this Pappardelle has Roasted Garlic and Chives infused into the pasta dough. It comes fresh made and sealed in a plastic packaging.





To prepare it; Open the package and add the Pasta with 1 tablespoon Extra Light Olive Oil to 4 quarts of boiling water. Add in Salt to taste. Reduce the heat and boil gently for 4 minutes, stirring frequently with tongs to separate pasta. Drain the water and serve!

Another excellent Buitoni Pasta! It cooks up easy and quickly, the Pasta was tender, and the taste is
spot on. Really liked the infused Roasted Garlic and Chives in the Pasta. Plus its only 230 calories per serving. To serve I made a bed of the Pasta in a bowl and topped it with the Fried Oysters, and what a dish it made! Once again Pasta and Seafood make a perfect pairing. I also had a slice of La Brea Multi Grain Bread I had leftover from last night's Dinner. For Dessert later a Weight Watcher's Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar.
