Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 0 min
Total time: 10 min
Serves: 4 (as a starter)
Ingredients
-
12 fresh oysters, shucked (keep as much oyster liquor as possible)
-
2–3 finger limes (any colour), halved lengthways
-
¼ tsp crushed native pepper (or freshly ground black pepper)
-
Optional: crushed ice, lemon or lime wedges for serving
Method
-
Prepare oysters: Place oysters (in their shells) on a platter over crushed ice to keep them chilled.
-
Extract pearls: Cut the finger limes in half lengthways. Gently squeeze or scrape out the citrus pearls (vesicles).
-
Top oysters: Spoon about ¼ teaspoon of finger lime pearls onto each oyster. Sprinkle a pinch of crushed native pepper (or black pepper).
-
Serve: Serve immediately so the citrus pearls bring a fresh, poppable bite with the natural oyster liquor.
