Ginger Lime Relish for Raw Oysters
In France, oysters are typically served with lemon and a vinegar-based sauce called mignonette. Today, we're taking a twist on tradition with this vibrant Ginger Lime Relish for Raw Oysters. This relish enhances the delicate flavor of the oysters with a refreshing combination of citrus, ginger, and honey.
Ingredients for Ginger Lime Relish:
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.3 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 small shallot, (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 medium lime zest grated and segments collected
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)
- In a medium saucepan, combine the juices, ginger, garlic, and honey and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce by half and set aside to cool. When the syrup has cooled to room temperature, add the shallots, cilantro, lime segments, and zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper and pour into a non-reactive bowl.
