ASPARAGUS WITH WHOLE-GRAIN MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, parsley, and salt in a small mixing bowl. Toss the asparagus with the mustard vinaigrette in a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
• Roast until the asparagus is just tender, about 10 minutes.
• Arrange the asparagus on a large serving platter, being sure to scrape all of the burned bits of mustard from the bottom of the pan along with the asparagus. Serve immediately.

ROASTED OYSTERS WITH WARM BACON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat a wood-fired or regular oven to 400 degrees F. Fill a 14-inch cast-iron pan with the rock salt.
• Shuck the oysters, keeping them in their bottom shells, then lay them on the rock salt, using care to save as much of the oyster liquor as possible. Place the entire pan in the oven and cook until the oysters are just set, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the bacon to a medium cast-iron pan, then set over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon until the fat has rendered out and the bacon begins to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onions to the pan and turn the heat down to medium-low. Sweat the onions until they have begun to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the mustard, then slowly add the vinegar, stirring. (You will want to stir and swirl the pan as you add the liquid, to help emulsify the mustard and vinegar into the bacon fat.) Add the watercress and stir the mixture to combine and wilt the cress.
• Remove the oysters from the oven. Evenly divide and top each oyster with the bacon vinaigrette.
