Oysters with three sauces
2 servings
30 minutes
Oysters with three sauces are a refined delicacy of European cuisine, combining the freshness of seafood with the rich flavors of three different sauces. Historically, oysters were considered a privilege of the aristocracy, and sauces became a way to enhance and diversify their natural taste. The first citrus and ginger-based sauce adds brightness and freshness to the oysters; the second, an apple-vinegar sauce, adds a tangy acidity; while the third, a plum-onion sauce with hints of maple syrup, creates a rich, slightly sweet balance. Serving oysters on ice preserves their tenderness while the sauces reveal a complexity of flavors. Perfect for festive dinners and gastronomic experiments, they allow one to enjoy the sophistication of seafood at its best.
