Oysters

Aguachile Relish

Salsa Negra

Method

Preparing the Oysters

  1. 1

    Shucking the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the fresh oysters, using an oyster knife to open the shells without damaging the meat. Keep the oysters on their half shells and arrange them on a serving platter.

Making Aguachile Relish

  1. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the lime juice, sliced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño. Add salt to taste. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Preparing Salsa Negra

  1. 3

    Soak and Blend Chilies

    Soak the dried chilies in hot water for about 15 minutes until soft. Drain and remove stems and seeds. In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Serving

  1. 4

    Assembling the Dish

    Spoon a generous amount of aguachile relish over each oyster, followed by a drizzle of salsa negra. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
