The video today is all about oysters – er, maybe more about eating them. Grab a bunch of friends, something to drink, and a bushel or two of oysters. It’s an eat outdoors-in your coat- not in fancy clothes kind of party that’s sure to leave you smiling! Roasting oysters (over a large grill) (because I prefer them roasted . . .)

• Prepare the grill (charcoal is best)
• Put oysters on the cooking surface in a single layer, ideally belly-side down
• Cover the grill (or cover the oysters with wet burlap)
• Cook for 20 minutes, or until the shell opens
• EAT!

My favorite sauce – MIGNONETTE (a vinegar sauce that’s like a more complex lemon squeeze)

• ½ c finely minced shallots
• ¼ c plain rice wine vinegar
• ¼ c white vinegar
• ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1/8 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and let sit at least 4 hours in the fridge to meld the flavors. This makes a ton – you could use any leftover as a nice base for a salad dressing.
