Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened.

  3. 3

    Add chopped tomatillos to the saucepan and cook until they release their juices, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool.

  5. 5

    In a separate pot, braise the short ribs in low heat with a little water for about 3 hours, or until tender. Once cooked, shred the meat and mix it with some of the liquid to create a marmalade consistency.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Nachos

    On a baking sheet, arrange the oysters. Top each oyster with a spoonful of the tomatillo mixture, followed by a layer of short rib marmalade. Finally, sprinkle gruyère cheese generously over the top.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
