Oysters

Ingredients

• 24 fresh oysters (e.g., Sylter Royal)
• 1 onion
• 0.5 tsp mustard seeds

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash and open the oysters, holding each shell with the convex side down in a kitchen towel, puncture the hinge with an oyster knife and twist to open. Cut off the upper muscle attachment from the shell, remove the top shell, then cut off the lower muscle attachment, leaving as much oyster liquid in the bottom shell as possible. Clean any shell residue with a finger and arrange on a rack or oyster plates.

2. 2.

   Peel the onion, finely dice it, and mix with mustard seeds. Distribute the onion mixture over the oysters and serve with graham bread.
