Cava, a Champagne-style sparkling Spanish wine, is delicious with tapas.

24 oysters, on the half shell
50g unsalted butter, melted
2 slices jamon* or prosciutto, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon caster sugar

Cava dressing

1/4 cup (60ml) cava or other sparkling white wine
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
3 teaspoons finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Method

1.

For cava dressing, combine ingredients in a small bowl. Season and set aside for 15 minutes for flavours to infuse.
2.

Meanwhile, preheat grill to high. Sit oysters on a baking tray. Combine butter, jamon and sugar, and spoon mixture over oysters. Grill oysters for 1 1/2 minutes or until jamon is a little crispy. Remove from heat, drizzle each oyster with Cava dressing and serve immediately with a glass of chilled Cava, of course!
