Chef Patrick's Comment

Hello, my two cents on this recipe, first only use the white part of the leek to sweat with butter half salt, do not add the oyster water (too salty when reducing) cook the oysters 30 seconds maximum and definitely no herbs of Provence which taint the marine flavor of the oysters.
