"Why should anyone need a recipe? Oysters are best fresh, cold, raw and plain" Phyllis C Richman
Oysters are wonderful served chilled with a squeeze of lemon or a drop of Tabasco. We also like to finely chop shallots and combine them with cider vinegar - a great addition to an oyster!
The following recipe is a special one for Christmas!
Oysters à la Russe
1 large beef tomato, skinned, deseeded and diced
6tbsp vodka
1 tsp horseradish
3 tsp Tabasco sauce
Large pinch of caster sugar & sea salt
2 tbsp finely chopped chives
Freshly ground pepper
Mix together the vodka, horseradish, lemon juice, Tabasco, sugar and salt in a bowl. Gently stir in the diced tomato and chives.
Place the opened oysters on a bed of ice and spoon over the vodka relish. Sprinkle over the cracked pepper.
This dish was found on a First Class menu recovered from the Titanic!!
