Simple Oyster Ajillo (Simmered in Oil)
- 300 grams Pre-shucked oysters for cooking
- 2 clove Garlic
- 5 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Red chili pepper
- 1 dash Salt
- Wash the oysters thoroughly and then dry them well.
- For how to wash them, please refer to "takunospoon"'s recipe.
- Smash the garlic with a knife and then stir-fry in some oil.
- Start with the heat on high and when it starts to simmer, turn it down to low.
- Take the oysters from Step 1 and finely slice them about 2-3 at a time.
- Once the garlic is aromatic, add in the red chili pepper and cut up oysters from Step 3.
- The umami from the olive oil will transfer to the oysters.
- Be careful of the hot oil, which might start spitting.
- Once aromatic, raise the heat to high.
- Sample it and season with salt as necessary.
- Once plump and cooked, they're ready!
- Enjoy while still hot.
- If you can, please leave it in the pot you cooked it in.
- I used a cheese fondue saucepan.
- Unfortunately you cannot use this saucepan on a induction stovetop.
- The juice from the oysters is delicious if you soak slices of baguette in it.
- It's also great with veggies.
- Regular mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, or any mushroom etc.
- are delicious when added.
- It even makes the dish healthier.
