Preparation

Step 1

Prepare artichoke bottoms:

Heat oil in cast iron pan or heavy pan over medium high heat until just smoking. Season artichoke hearts with sea salt and add to pan. Cook flat surface of heart until just charred. Set aside and keep warm.

Cook Super Spinach

Heat butter in sauce pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add spinach and seasons. Cook until wilted, set aside and keep warm.

Prepare oysters and sauce

Pour oyster liquor into a nonreactive 8-inch heavy skillet and add Champagne, shallot, garlic, chipotle, white pepper and vinegar. Bring to a boil and boil, skimming foam, until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 5 minutes. (Reduce heat if necessary to keep from boiling over.)

Pour liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup, pressing on and then discarding shallot. Return liquid to skillet, then add cream and oysters and cook over moderate heat, turning oysters over if not completely covered, until edges curl, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Remove oysters from the sauce, lifting them out with a slotted spoon. Return sauce to stove and boil sauce until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add butter, then chives, and swirl skillet until butter is incorporated. Remove from heat Season with salt and white pepper if needed.

Assemble

Transfer artichoke hearts to dish flat side up, top with spinach. Arrange oysters on top of spinach. Spoon sauce over oysters and serve.
