Ingredients
6-12 fresh Irish oysters
125ml rice wine vinegar
handful of roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
handful of roughly chopped chervil
1 medium shallot, finely diced
juice of ½ lemon
pinch of sea salt
pinch of black pepper
lemon wedges, to serve
Method
Shuck the oysters, being extremely careful not to stab yourself in the palm of your hand. It is best done with a proper oyster shucker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, herbs, shallot, lemon juice, sea salt and pepper.
Place in a small bowl with a teaspoon. Serve with the oysters on a wooden board, spooning a little dressing over the oysters before eating.
