Oysters a la Russe

List of Ingredients





2 tablespoons vodka
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 dash hot pepper sauce
1 pinch of granulated sugar
1 pinch of sea salt
1 plum tomato, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
12 large oysters
coarsely cracked black peppercorns






Recipe



In bowl, stir together vodka, lemon juice, horseradish, hot pepper sauce and salt. Gently stir in tomato and chives.

Wash oysters under running water to remove any loose barnacles or sand. Insert tip of oyster shucker between shell halves near hinge; twist upward to open shell. Discard top shell. Using blade of shucker, sever connective membrane that holds oyster to bottom shell. Place open oysters on bed of shaved or crushed ice.

Spoon vodka relish over each oyster; dust with cracked pepper.
