March 31 - National Oysters on the Half Shell Day

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Oysters w/Griddled Lemon "Curd"
 Categories: Five, Seafood, Citrus, Herbs
      Yield: 4 servings

      2 lg Lemons; in 8 wedges each
      1 tb Coarse chopped basil leaves
    1/4 ts Olive oil
           Fresh ground black pepper
     24    Oysters

  To a large, nonreactive skillet set over medium-high
  heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the
  lemon slices, basil, and a pinch of black pepper,
  stirring to coat the lemon wedges in the oil. Cook,
  turning the lemons once, until they start to smell
  sweet, and turn a deep golden brown on both sides, about
  8 minutes. 

  Transfer the contents of the skillet to a blender or a
  mortar & pestle, and process into a fine paste. Set a
  fine mesh strainer over a small bowl, then use a bowl
  scraper or silicone spatula to force the lemon paste
  through to make a very smooth curd. Cover and transfer
  to the fridge until chilled or up to 5 days.

  Yield: makes 1/2 cup

  Shuck the oysters, reserving as much of their liquor as
  possible. Transfer to a platter of crushed ice, top each
  of the oysters with a small dollop of the chilled lemon
  curd, and serve immediately.
