Here is a recipe from the "Libro de Guisados" (1529). It appears to
be a list of cooking suggestions, rather than one single recipe:
COMO SE GUISAN LAS OSTIAS
Las ostias se comen fritas con aceite y su pimienta y azafran y sus
especias y zumo de naranja; y echadas en su escabeche con
sus hojas de laurel. Y se comen asadas con su pimienta. Y se comen
cocidas en su agua; y aceite, y especias sofreidos primero con su
cebolla and aceite en una sarten o la cebolla sola sofreida en la
sarten; y echada en la olla con su sabor de vinagre; y algunas buenas
yerbas. Y se pueden guisar en cazuela con su agua y aceite y
especias y buenas yerbas con cebolla sofreida en su sarten; y echada
dentro, y su saborcico de vinagre.
And a quick translation for those who are not familiar with Spanish:
HOW OYSTERS ARE COOKED
Oysters are eated fried with oil and your pepper and saffron and
your spices and orange juice; and cast into your escabeche [a pickled
dish] with your laurel leaves. And they are eaten fried with
your pepper. And they are eaten cooked in your water; and oil, and
spices gently fried first with your onion and oil in a frying-pan or
the onion gently fried alone in the frying pan; and cast in the pot
with your taste of vinegar; and some good herbs. And they can be
cooked in a cazuela [casserole dish] with your water and oil and
spices and good herbs with onion gently fried in your frying-pan; and
cast within, and your little taste of vinegar.
Hope this helps.
