Oysters with Herb Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 Handfuls Basil
• 1 clove garlic
• 30 g pine nuts
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 60 g freshly grated Parmesan
• 120 ml olive oil
• Pepper (freshly ground)
• Salt
• 24 oysters

Instructions

1. 1.

   Peel the basil leaves and skin the garlic clove. Combine both with the pine nuts, lemon juice, 2 tbsp parmesan and a splash of olive oil; blend into a fine paste, adding more oil as needed for desired thickness. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.

2. 2.

   Wash and open the oysters. Drain the water and loosen the oyster meat with a knife, leaving it in its shell. Spoon the pesto over each oyster, sprinkle with remaining cheese, then grill on high heat for 5–6 minutes until the cheese melts.
