Commander’s Palace Oysters Rockefeller

Commanders Palace is known for this dish, and now you can make this one at home.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces finely chopped bacon
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter or 1 stick butter
  • 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
  • 6 cups finely chopped cooked spinach with juice
  • 1 tablespoon celery salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup oyster liquid
  • 4 ounces absinthe
  • Salt to taste
bread crumbs
  • 6 dozen oysters with shells

Instructions

Brown bacon; add garlic when nearly brown. Add butter and shallots. After cooking a few minutes, add spinach and all other ingredients. Thicken with enough breadcrumbs to make thick, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Have 12 pie pans half filled with rock salt. Arrange 6 oyster shells in each pie pan. Top each oyster at room temperature in its shell until heated through and browned on top.

While you can't get real absinthe here in the United States, it is illegal, you can get many other liquors that taste very similar, and they are labeled as absinthe.

    Absinthe is legal and available once again – try Lucid.

    You cant get Absinthe anymore. At one time was used as a very addictive narcotic. I have a very old cook book from Louisiana, there are recipes in it that call for Absinthe.

    What is Oyster Liquid?

      Oysters are usually packed in juice. That liquid would be the juice they get packed in.
