Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, finely chopped shallots, diced local apple, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Oysters

    Shuck the fresh oysters carefully, keeping the liquor in the shell. Place the oysters on a tray.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Oysters

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Soak the smoking chips in water for 30 minutes, then drain. Add the chips to the smoker and place the oysters on the grill grates. Smoke for about 30 minutes or until the oysters are plump and infused with smoky flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the smoked oysters from the smoker and let them cool slightly. Serve the oysters on a platter with the apple mignonette drizzled over the top or on the side.
