A vinaigrette flavoured with shallot is a classic dressing for oysters. Use a mild, slightly sweet white wine vinegar like the chardonnay vinegars sold under the LiraH and Forum brands, as a stronger vinegar will overpower the delicate flavour of the oysters.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chardonnay vinegar (see above)
- Salt flakes and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
- 2 golden shallots, very finely diced
- Rock salt, for serving
- 12 freshly shucked Sydney rock oysters
- Chervil sprigs, for garnishing
Method
Whisk together oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and stir in shallot.
Arrange rock salt on a platter, place oysters on top and garnish plate with chervil.
Top oysters with shallot mixture and serve.
Notes
Alternative Species: Native Oyster, Pacific Oyster, steamed Saucer Scallop.
