Ingredients:
6 medium oysters such as blue point or belon |
1/2 cup apple cider or juice |
3 tablespoons finely chopped tart apple |
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper |
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Scrub oysters well. Combine oysters and apple cider in a 2-qt. saucepan and bring to a boil. Steam oysters, covered, over moderately high heat until they just open, checking occasionally after 3 minutes and transferring to a plate as they open. (Reserve steaming liquid and discard any unopened oysters.) Chill oysters, loosely covered, until cool, about 30 minutes.
2. While oysters are chilling, pour oyster steaming liquid through a paper towel-lined sieve into a bowl to remove any grit. Stir 2 tablespoons strained liquid together with remaining ingredients and salt to taste. Discard remaining strained liquid.
3. Remove flat half of oyster shell and loosen oyster with a sharp knife. Put oysters in rounded half of shell. Arrange on plates and spoon sauce over oysters.
