March 31 - National Oysters on the Half Shell Day

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Oysters w/Griddled Lemon "Curd"
Categories: Five, Seafood, Citrus, Herbs
Yield: 4 servings

2 lg Lemons; in 8 wedges each
1 tb Coarse chopped basil leaves
1/4 ts Olive oil
Fresh ground black pepper
24 Oysters

To a large, nonreactive skillet set over medium-high
heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the
lemon slices, basil, and a pinch of black pepper,
stirring to coat the lemon wedges in the oil. Cook,
turning the lemons once, until they start to smell
sweet, and turn a deep golden brown on both sides, about
8 minutes.

Transfer the contents of the skillet to a blender or a
mortar & pestle, and process into a fine paste. Set a
fine mesh strainer over a small bowl, then use a bowl
scraper or silicone spatula to force the lemon paste
through to make a very smooth curd. Cover and transfer
to the fridge until chilled or up to 5 days.

Yield: makes 1/2 cup

Shuck the oysters, reserving as much of their liquor as
possible. Transfer to a platter of crushed ice, top each
of the oysters with a small dollop of the chilled lemon
curd, and serve immediately.
