Edible oyster shell
Ingredients
The oyster shell batter
- 300 g fish broth
- 70 g flour
- 70 g oat flour
- 25 g corn starch
- 3 g salt
- 2 g squid ink
The bone marrow layer
- 200 g marrow bones
- 20 g cacao butter
- 25 g white chocolate
- 2 g salt
Instructions
The oyster shell batter
- Pour the fish broth into a measuring jar and also add the flour, the oat flour, the corn starch and the salt. Now blend this till smooth.
- Then pour half of the batter into a small jar and add the squid ink to the remaining batter. Blend this till it has an even color.
- Once that’s done heat up some frying oil till it’s 170 °C and heat up the oyster stamp as well. Click here for more info.
- Once it’s hot pour the white base into a small container and drizzle the dark base on top. Make a preferred pattern with a tweezer.
- Then dip the stamp into the batter for around 5 seconds and let it sit for a minute to dry before deep frying it. Now deep fry the pie tee for around a minute till it starts to color.
- Once it starts to color gently press it off the stamp and take it out off the hot oil. Then let them cool down completely.
- Now place them with the flat side down and spray a touch of silver spray on top. I always do this outside, otherwise you’ll be seeing glitters for weeks.
- Then dry them at 50 degrees Celsius for an hour or two.
The bone marrow layer
- Toast the marrow bones at 180 °C for an hour. This will melt the marrow and create a wonderful, toasted flavor.
- Now take them out of the oven and let them cool down for a minute. Then scrape the marrow out of the bone and measure 45 grams into a blender. Also add the cacao butter, the white chocolate and the salt.
- Blend this till smooth. The chocolate and cacao butter will melt from the heat of the toasted marrow. After that pass it through a fine sieve and let it cool down till it starts to thicken, but it still is liquid enough to pour.
- Then use a brush to add a layer on the inside of the oyster pie tee’s. You’ll probably need to add 2 or 3 layers and let it set in between.
- Without the marrow layer you can keep them dry and covered for a couple of days, but with the marrow you can keep them dry and covered for a day or two.
