This Indian-inspired recipe is our adaptation of a popular offering at Moby Dick Hotel and Restaurant in Nahcotta, Washington (above). The chef who created it has departed the restaurant, but we think the dish should live on.
Ingredients:
1 cup plain fat-free yogurt,divided
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped seeded jalapeño pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
24 shucked oysters
2 cups hot cooked basmati rice
cilantro sprigs (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine 1/4 cup yogurt, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, and salt in a blender; process until smooth. Add 3/4 cup yogurt; process until just blended.
2. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds and next 4 ingredients (mustard seeds through red pepper); sauté for 1 minute. Stir in oysters; sauté 4 minutes or until edges of oysters curl. Remove from heat; stir in the yogurt sauce. Serve over rice. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
