5. FRIED OYSTERS.
MEDIA TAVA.
Ingredients:
Oysters................................................ 2 dozen.
Biscuits ..................................... 6 to 8, crusched.
Butter or Olive Oil ....... 2 to 3 tablespoonfuls, respectively.
Whiskey ....................................... 1 tablespoonful.
Salt and pepper, to taste.
Sauce:
Olive Oil .................................... 1 tablespoonful.
Vinegar ..................................... 1 tablespoonful.
Garlic ...................... 5 to 6 bulbs, peeled and pressed.
Method:
One hour before frying, roll the oysters either in flour or in very finely
crushed biscuits, season to taste, and leave on a piece of white muslin to
absorb the surplus moisture. When ready to fry, sprinkle the whiskey over them;
then remove from cloth and fry in plenty of hot butter or olive oil--the latter
preferred.
Serve these garnished with parsley, and serve with a sauce made of the
ingredients given above. For this, thoroughly mix the olive oil, vinegar and the
juice of the garlic, adding a pinch of salt.
