 “A decent oyster doesn’t need much else to really make it sing – try this beautifully simple combo” – Jamie Oliver

Ingredients:

  • ½ thumb-sized piece peeled ginger
  • 6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 red chilli
  • A little fresh coriander
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Oysters

Serves: 2

Method:

  1. Freshly shuck (open) the oysters with a small knife or oyster-shucker, using a tea towel to hold them, eat them the day that you buy them and serve them on some ice cubes that you’ve bashed up in a tea towel.
  2. Finely grate ½ a thumb-sized piece of peeled ginger.
  3. Mix ginger with 6 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar, 1 finely chopped and deseeded red chilli, and a little finely sliced fresh coriander.
  4. Stir in a teaspoon of sugar until dissolved.
  5. Serve in a dish with the oysters.
