One of three starters we made in Kate Sumner’s cooking class at FEASTival – an annual food and wine event held on Kangaroo Island in South Australia. This is a favourite of Kate’s from her days eating at Trinity restaurant in Melbourne, it’s a very decadent way to serve oysters that may even appeal to non-oyster eaters. They are decadent and divine and seemed to please even those who don’t like oysters. We used Kangaroo Island oysters but I think they’ll work well with our Bluffies too. Makes 12.
