Ingredients:

Serving

36 atlantic oysters , preferably chinquoteague, or any medium large, fresh variety
8 oz heavy cream , plus 4 ounces
1/2 tsp celery seed
2 bay leaves
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley , leaves picked and coarsely chopped
2 lemons , zested and juiced
3 stalks celery, finely diced
2 to 3 oz virginia ham, diced finely
freshly ground black pepper
1 large celery root, peeled and diced and kept in acidulated water
2 oz unsalted butter
sea salt

Directions:

Shuck the oysters and drain, saving the oyster liquor for the sauce and the top shells.
In a non-corrosive saucepan, add the oyster liquor, 8 ounces of the heavy cream, the celery seed, bay leaves, parsley, lemon zest, and juice. Bring to a boil and let reduce by 1/8. Strain through a fine sieve and return the cream mixture to the saucepan. Add the finely diced celery and ham and bring to a boil. Add the black pepper and check for saltiness, as the ham will add a great deal of salt to the mixture. If it is too salty, (hams will vary in saltiness) add a little more cream. Keep warm.
Drain the celery root, and, in another saucepan, add the celery root. Cover with fresh, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender and drain. In a food processor, add the celery root, butter, and remaining cream, and puree.
Preheat the broiler. Place a 1/2 teaspoon of the celery root puree into each of the oyster shells, top with an oyster, and spoon the celery ham cream over the oysters. Place the filled oysters on bed of sea salt on a sheet pan and broil in the oven for about 5 minutes or until browning and bubbly. Serve at once.
