Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush to ensure they are clean.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare Kinchi Butter

    In a bowl, mix the kinchi butter until it is well blended. If you don't have kinchi butter, you can make it by mixing softened unsalted butter with finely chopped kimchi.

  2. 4

    Grill the Oysters

    Place the cleaned oysters on the preheated grill, flat side up. Spoon about a teaspoon of kinchi butter onto each oyster.

  3. 5

    Add Tepache

    Drizzle a small amount of tepache over each oyster after adding the kinchi butter.

  4. 6

    Grill Until Cooked

    Close the grill lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the oysters’ edges curl and the butter is bubbly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Oysters

    Carefully remove the grilled oysters from the grill using tongs. Place them on a serving platter.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the oysters with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy immediately!
