Method
- Clean the triploid oysters under running water. Place them in a vacuum pack and steam at 68°C (154°F) for 30 minutes. Cool in ice water and set aside.
- Slice the shallots. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add shallots, and sauté without browning. Add pleurotus mushrooms and bring to a boil. Then, add heavy cream, milk, pink peppercorns, 3 sprigs of thyme, 2 sprigs of parsley, and lemon slices. Simmer until slightly thickened, then strain and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and add all-purpose flour. Cook to make a roux. Gradually add the strained pleurotus lemon sauce, whisking well to combine. Season with salt and lemon juice.
- Grind the wet breadcrumbs in a blender until finely ground.
- Pick the leaves from 2 sprigs of Italian parsley and 3 sprigs of thyme. Mince the garlic. Combine the finely ground breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and olive oil. Mix well.
- Shuck the cooled triploid oysters. Top each oyster with 1 spoonful of pleurotus lemon sauce and a generous amount of herb breadcrumbs. Bake in a preheated oven at 210°C (410°F) for 7-10 minutes, watching for the breadcrumbs to turn golden brown.
