Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of Rocky Mountain Oysters (bull testicles)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 stick of butter
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Fire Up the Grill: Start by firing up your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. Allow it to reach optimal searing temperature.
  2. Clean and Prep the Oysters: Rinse the Rocky Mountain Oysters thoroughly under cold water. Remove any excess membrane and slice them into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
  3. Marinate: Place the sliced oysters in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Let them soak for at least 1 hour to tenderize and remove any gamey flavor.

Breading

  1. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  2. Coat the Oysters: Remove the oysters from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Grilling

  1. Melt the Butter: Place a stick of butter on the flat cooktop griddle of the Arteflame grill. Let it melt and sizzle.
  2. Sear the Oysters: Place the breaded oysters on the hot center grill grate. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Cook to Perfection: Move the seared oysters to the flat cooktop to finish cooking. Grill for an additional 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  4. Rest and Serve: Remove the oysters from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips

  • Temperature Control: Utilize the different heat zones of the Arteflame grill to ensure even cooking without burning.
  • Butter Basting: Regularly baste the oysters with melted butter to enhance their flavor and keep them moist.
  • Resting Time: Allow the oysters to rest before serving to let the juices redistribute, ensuring a tender bite.

Conclusion

Rocky Mountain Oysters are a delightful and adventurous dish perfect for your next grilling session. With the Arteflame grill, you can achieve a perfect sear and tender texture, making this unique delicacy a hit at any gathering.

Variations

  1. Spicy Rocky Mountain Oysters: Add more cayenne pepper and a dash of hot sauce to the buttermilk marinade for a spicy kick.
  2. Herb-Crusted Oysters: Mix finely chopped fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and oregano into the breading mixture for an aromatic twist.
  3. Lemon Pepper Oysters: Replace the paprika and cayenne with lemon zest and freshly ground black pepper for a zesty flavor.
  4. Garlic Parmesan Oysters: Add grated Parmesan cheese and extra garlic powder to the breading for a rich, cheesy coating.
  5. Southern-Style Oysters: Incorporate a teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning into the breading for a Southern-inspired flavor.
