AIP Oyster Bar - Oysters Oreganata

January 30, 2018

Oysters Oreganata is a baked dish that traditionally uses breadcrumbs to create the topping. Our chef adapted the AIP recipe using coconut flour. Baked until golden brown on top, you will never know that there is no bread. Delicious!

Oysters are packed with iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc and Vitamin B-12. Some people may be intimidated by preparing oysters, but they are actually very simple to prepare. It is important to examine the oysters you have purchased. Throw away any that have broken shells. If you see one that is open, tap on the shell. If it closes that means it is alive and healthy. If it doesn't close, throw it away! At the same time if you are serving Steamed Oysters and there is one that doesn't open, throw it away!
