Oysters and Accompaniments
Method
Preparation and Serving
Shucking the Oysters
Start by carefully shucking the fresh oysters. Use an oyster knife and a cloth for grip. Insert the knife at the hinge of the oyster and twist to open.
Preparing the Lemon
Cut the fresh lemon in half and set aside. You will use it to squeeze fresh lemon juice over the oysters just before serving.
Serving the Hummus
In a shallow bowl, place 1 cup of hummus. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle za'atar spice mix evenly over the top.
Preparing Pita and Radishes
Warm the pita bread slightly in a pan or oven, and slice into wedges. Serve pickled radishes in a separate bowl.
Plating
On a large serving platter, arrange the freshly shucked oysters, hummus bowl, pita wedges, and pickled radishes. Serve with lemon halves on the side for squeezing over the oysters.
