Ingredients

Mango Pico:

Directions

  1. Preheat a fryer with canola oil to 375 degrees F. Soak yucca root chips in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove from the water and pat dry with paper towels. Fry until light brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Season with sea salt. Set aside.
  2. In a blender, combine mustard, honey, lemon, habanero, egg yolks, and cilantro and puree. With the machine running, add the olive oil slowly. Season with salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. In a saucepan heat canola oil to 375 degrees F. Soak the oysters in buttermilk and transfer to the flour to get a light coating and fry for 45 seconds to 1 minute until lightly brown. Transfer oysters to a paper towel to drain. Place oysters on top of yucca root chips, spoon a little habanero sauce on each oyster and sprinkle with mango pico.
