  • Rock salt, to serve
  • 4 dozen oysters
  • 250.00 ml baby rocket leaves
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 lemon, zested, juiced
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 4 spring onions, thinly sliced lengthways
  • 40.00 ml pickled ginger
  • 21.00 gm light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 12.00 gm sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions:
  • Combine rocket, pine nuts, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor until finely chopped. While blending, slowly pour in the oil until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • On a large serving platter, layer the rock salt and arrange the oysters on top. Drizzle half of the oysters with pesto and sprinkle lemon zest over them.
  • For the pickled ginger and sesame oysters, soak spring onion in a bowl of ice water to make it curl beautifully. Distribute pickled ginger and spring onion evenly among the rest of the oysters. Mix soy sauce with sesame oil in a small pitcher, then pour it over the oysters and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
