Oysters in a jar can be found in many grocery stores year round. Serve these with mashed potatoes or grilled polenta slices for change of pace.

Ingredients

  • 340g oysters, usually two 6-ounce jars
  • 55g flour
  • 75g cornmeal
  • 3g salt
  • 2g pepper
  • 15mL vegetable oil, divided

Directions

  • Rinse and drain oysters.
  • Combine flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a small dish.
  • Spray a nonstick skillet with vegetable oil spray, and then place 1 tsp (5mL) of oil in the pan. Heat pan until very hot.
