Cornmeal Crusted Oysters with Lemon-Tabasco Aioli 24 freshly shucked oysters In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, seafood breader, garlic, onion powder and black pepper to make crust for the oysters. Gently add oysters to the bowl and coat evenly. The moisture from the oysters will allow the cornmeal mixture to adhere to oysters without adding egg. In batches of six oysters, fry in the canola oil at 350 degrees for 3 minutes and remove to paper towel to drain. Place on platter and drizzle aioli across the top of the oysters. Lemon-Tabasco Aioli 2 large egg yolks Place egg yolks in blender or food processor and pulse a couple of times to break them down. Add garlic cloves and turn the processor/blender on a constant speed. Slowly add the olive oil in a thin, yet constant speed. The egg yolks will become thickened and pale in color. Once the right consistency is achieved, add the lemon juice and the Tabasco. Once again pulse the processor/blender to incorporate the lemon juice and Tabasco. In case the aioli should break, make sure the blender/processor has not generated heat while in action as this can cause the aioli to separate. |

LizI too have had a chance to experience Trio's new menu and the food was fantastic. The cornmeal crusted oysters just melt in your mouth. If you've dined at Magnolia Grill in Charleston or the finer restaurants of New Orleans, the new Trio will definitely compare.

Lindsey : →http://blogs.roanoke.com/fridgemagnet/Funny that you should mention the Magnolia Grill, Liz. I think that's one of the restaurants the Trio folks had in mind when they revamped things.
