Oyster shooters
These shooters are best served when they are only just set so the jelly-encased oyster slips easily out of the glass.

Ingredients (8)

  • 1 titanium-strength gelatine leaf*
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) verjuice*
  • 1/2 tsp caster sugar
  • 6 freshly shucked oysters
  • 1/2 eschalot, finely chopped
  • 1 tbs sherry vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • Micro herbs*, to serve

Method

  • 1.
    Soak gelatine leaf in cold water for 5 minutes to soften.
  • 2.
    Meanwhile, heat verjuice and sugar in a small saucepan over high heat for 1 minute, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cool slightly. Squeeze excess water from the gelatine leaf, then add the gelatine to the saucepan and stir until dissolved.
  • 3.
    Divide one-third of the verjuice mixture among 6 shot glasses, then refrigerate for 30 minutes or until jelly is just set. Keep remaining verjuice mixture in a warm place so it doesn't set – if it does start to set, gently reheat over low heat.
  • 4.
    Place a freshly shucked oyster on top of each of the set jellies, then top with the remaining verjuice mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until just set.
  • 5.
    Meanwhile, place eschalot, sherry vinegar and thyme in a bowl and stir to combine. Season and set dressing aside.
  • 6.
    Top each shot glass with a little dressing and micro herbs. Serve with a teaspoon so your guests can enjoy their oyster shooter in one go.
