Grilled Oysters With Black Truffle Butter
- 12 fresh oysters, I used Darmiscotta oysters because I live in Maine and they were what the man at the Farmarket usually has
- 2-3 generous knobs of the best truffle butter you can get your hands on - I used lcoal butt from Casco Bay Butter- If I had fresh truffles I would use thier butter and shave in some real truffles
- some chopped parsely
- some great bread
- a half a lemon
- heat your grill to high
- In a pan you don't care much about burning the bottom, arrange oysters so the rounded side is on the bottom ( I use an enamel pie tin which holds 6 oysters and a cast iron pie tin which also holds 6)
- place the cooking vessel of your choosing on the grill & shut it
- meanwhile mince some flat leaf parsley (don't leave it out it actually cuts the richness just a bit)
- Check grill to see if oysters shells have popped (about 8 minutes more or less)
- Using a dishtowel carefully pry the top shells off and place oysters in shells back in pan
- Add a bit of butter to each oyster
- put back on grill for a few minutes to let butter melt
- sprinkle with parsley, add a squeeze of lemon and tea right out off the dish you cooked in
fresh oysters, generous, some great bread, lemon
