-
37.5 cl bottle of Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René lambic beer
-
18 fresh oysters in deep shells
-
1 shallot, finely chopped
-
100 g cold butter, diced
-
2 egg yolks
-
Sea salt
-
Pepper and salt to taste
-
Optional: crushed ice for presentation
Preparation
- Peel the shallot and chop it very finely. Add it to a saucepan with half of the bottle of Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René and reduce the beer over high heat until almost all the liquid has evaporated.
- Open the shells, remove the oysters, set them aside, and reserve the juice from each oyster.
- Add the reserved oyster juice into the saucepan on medium or low heat.
- Place the hollow oyster shells on a bed of crushed ice and sea salt and add a raw oyster in each shell.
- Preheat the oven using the ‘Broil’ function on low.
- Add the egg yolks to the sauce mixture and place the saucepan in a hot water bath or on a very low heat to avoid overcooking.
- Pour the rest of the bottle of Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René into the sauce mixture and whisk in the butter cubes until melted. The result should be a light, thin sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper and divide the finished sauce, pouringover the oyster shells.
- Place the oysters under the broiler until they are lightly browned. Serve immediately.
