ʻAʻohe mea pehea ʻoe e kipa aku ai i ke Ala ʻOyster ʻo North Carolina hou, inā paha ʻoe e kipa aku i kēlā me kēia hale ʻaina ma ke ala a i ʻole e hele i kahi mākaʻikaʻi o kahi mahiʻai ʻoyster, e loaʻa iā ʻoe hoʻokahi mea: ka hoʻoikaika no ka kuke ʻana i nā ʻoyster ma ka home.
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻomākaukau wale ʻana iā lākou me nā mea ʻono ʻono, uhi kēia mau meaʻai ʻelima i nā ala maikaʻi loa e lawelawe ai i nā oysters.
No ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana i kā mākou mau kākoʻo ʻelua i hoʻolaʻa nui ʻia: Mahalo iā John lāua ʻo Nancy a me nā lālā a pau o kā mākou CRO News Club no ko lāua kākoʻo ʻana i hiki ai kā mākou uhi ʻana.
Inā makemake ʻoe i nā ʻoysters maka me nā pūpū hapalua, hiki iā ʻoe ke koho i ka vīnega Vidalia momona me ka pepa poni a me kahi ʻala o ka waina ʻālohilohi. ʻO nā ʻoysters i kālua ʻia i loko o ka umu a i ʻole ma luna o ke ahi he mea ʻono me ka enchilada pata kālika a i ʻole ka mea ʻono jalapeno creamy. E hoʻomaka pū e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i kāu mea ʻono cocktail ponoʻī. E noʻonoʻo i ka meaʻai mea ʻono cocktail maʻamau ma lalo nei e hoʻoulu ai i ka noʻonoʻo palena ʻole.
ʻOiai ke ʻano o ka mea ʻala āu e koho ai, aia kekahi kānāwai koʻikoʻi e hahai ai: Mai hoʻonui nui i ka mea ʻala i ʻole e uhi ʻia ka ʻono o nā oysters.
Ma nā kaiāulu he nui ma ke kahakai o North Carolina, he hana maʻamau ka hoʻohana ʻana i kekahi mau kulu vīnega ma luna o nā ʻoysters. Hoʻohālikelike kahi waikawa liʻiliʻi i ke ʻano momona a me ka momona o ka ʻoysters. Ma Palani, ʻo ka mignonette sauce-nā shallots i ʻoki ʻia, ka pepa i kuʻi ʻia a me ka vīnega-he mea ʻono maʻamau no nā ʻoysters maka. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻohana ʻia ka vīnega ma luna o nā ʻoysters a pono e hoʻohana iki ʻia, inā ʻaʻole e lanakila ka ʻono o ka vīnega i ka ʻono maoli o nā ʻoysters.
E kāwili i 2 punetēpē o nā ʻonika Vidalia i ʻokiʻoki ʻia, 1 tīpune o ka pepa poni, kahi ʻūpī o ka pepa ʻeleʻele, 1/4 kīʻaha o ka vīnega waina keʻokeʻo, a me 1/4 kīʻaha o ka liqueur poni ʻālohilohi (e like me Moscato) i loko o kahi pola liʻiliʻi. E hoʻowali mālie a hui pū ʻia. E hoʻokomo i loko o ka pahu hau a hiki i ke anuanu o ka hau. E kau ma luna o nā ʻoysters maka a lawelawe ʻia paha ma ke ʻano he mea ʻala no nā ʻoysters mahu.
Ke kau ʻoe i nā ʻoysters palai ma luna o nā sanwika, a i ʻole nā ​​​​oysters i kālua ʻia i loko o ko lākou mau pūpū i loko o ka umu e hāʻawi iā lākou i kahi ʻono uahi a paʻakai, ʻo kahi ʻuala kirīmi kahi ala ʻono e hoʻokō ai i ka ʻono o ka iʻa.
E hoʻoulu pū i ka ½ kīʻaha mayonnaise, 2 punetēpē jalapenos i ʻokiʻoki ʻia, 1 punetēpē truffles wela a ʻoluʻolu paha, 1 punetēpē capers i ʻokiʻoki ʻia, 1 punetēpē Dijon mustard, 1 punetēpē wai lemona, a me 1 punetēpē paprika. E hoʻohui i 2 punetēpē o ka pāhiri hou i ʻokiʻoki ʻia a me 2 punetēpē o nā chives i ʻokiʻoki ʻia.
Me ka ʻole o ka mea ʻono cocktail a me nā ramekins pata hoʻoheheʻe wela, ʻaʻole piha nā oysters i kālua ʻia. I ka holomua ʻana o ka ʻoyster grilling, hui mālie kēia mau mea ʻono, i ka wā e hoʻoluʻu pālua ai ka poʻe i ka pata a me ka mea ʻono cocktail, a ʻo ka hope, e hana ana i kahi hui ʻono loa. Ua hoʻoulu kēia hui ʻana i kēia meaʻai. E hoʻoluʻu i nā oysters mahu i loko o kēia mea ʻono a i ʻole e kāpīpī ma luna o nā oysters palai.
E ʻili, a laila e ʻokiʻoki i ʻehā ʻāpana kālika. E kau i ke kālika a me 1 lāʻau pata ʻaʻohe paʻakai i loko o kahi ipuhao liʻiliʻi a hoʻomehana ma luna o ka wela haʻahaʻa. E kau i ke kālika i loko o ka pata a hoʻomoʻa mālie no 5 mau minuke. Mai hoʻokuʻu i ke kālika a i ʻole ka pata e ʻeleʻele. E hoʻohui i ka ½ tīpune paprika, ½ tīpune paprika, ½ tīpune mea ʻala Cajun, 1 tīpune mea ʻono Worcestershire, 1 tīpune horseradish, 1 punetune ketchup, a me 2 punetune mea ʻono wela i loko o kahi ipuhao me ka hoʻoulu mau ʻana i ka pata. E hana i ½ kīʻaha.
E haʻi paha lākou iā ʻoe ʻaʻole lākou e ana i kekahi mea a hoʻohui i kahi liʻiliʻi o kēia a me kahi liʻiliʻi e like me ka ʻono o kā lākou mea ʻono i hui ʻia. Me he mea lā ua ʻae like nā mea a pau he mau mea nui ka ketchup, ka horseradish, ka mea ʻono wela a me Worcestershire. Mai laila mai, pili ia i ke kuke.
E hoʻohana i kēia meaʻai ma ke ʻano he kumu hoʻomaka no ka hana ʻana i kāu hui ponoʻī. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohui i ke kālika i wili ʻia, ka wai lime, ka mea ʻala old bay, ka soy sauce, jalapeno, ka mustard ma kahi o ka horseradish a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea ʻē aʻe e hana ai i kāu mea ʻono ponoʻī.
ʻOiai kāu e koho ai, ʻo ka hopena hope loa he kaulike o ka ʻono, ka paʻakai, a me ka momona, a me nā calorie maopopo akā ʻaʻole nui loa. Ma North Carolina, hoʻohana ʻia ka mea ʻono cocktail maʻamau e hoʻoluʻu i nā oysters mahu, palai, a kālua ʻia a me nā oysters i kālua ʻia ma luna o ke ahi. He mea hoʻohuihui nō hoʻi ia no nā oysters palai i loko o nā hamburgers, a ua kapa ʻia kēia ʻano sandwich he oyster burger.
I loko o kahi pola liʻiliʻi, e hoʻohui i ka ½ kīʻaha o ka mea ʻono tōmato, 1-3 punetēpē o ka horseradish wili ʻia, 2 tīpune o ka mea ʻono Worcestershire, 1-2 tīpune o ka mea ʻono wela, 1 tīpune wai lemona a i ʻole kahi vīnega liʻiliʻi. E uhi a hoʻokomo i loko o ka pahu hau i ka mea ʻono a hiki i ka wā e hoʻohana ai.
Mai koʻu ʻanakala Italia i hala aku nei kēia meaʻai maʻalahi loa, nāna i hōʻea mai i ko mākou hale i kekahi pō a haʻi mai iā mākou ua ʻai mākou i nā ʻopae mahu.
Ua manaʻo ʻo ia e kau mākou iā lākou ma nā hapalua pūpū, e kāpīpī i kahi oregano liʻiliʻi a me ka pauka kālika ma luna o kēlā me kēia ʻūpā, a kāpīpī me ka ʻaila ʻoliva puʻupaʻa maikaʻi loa.
Ua pololei ʻo ia, a he ʻono like kāna ʻōlelo aʻo no nā ʻoysters i loko o ka pūpū i kālua ʻia i loko o ka umu. I kekahi manawa, kāpīpī mākou i kahi pepa ʻulaʻula liʻiliʻi.
Ua hele mai ʻo Liz a me kona ʻohana i North Carolina e hauʻoli i nā kahakai ākea, ka lewa aloha a me nā meaʻai kai hou.
