Poached Oysters With Endives And Lemon
So easy to make it’s pretty much fool-proof, poaching the oysters in their own juices really intensifies the salty seafood flavor. The slight bitter tone of the endive take it up another level whilethat hit of fresh lemon brings such vibrancy you’ll have that tangy aftertastein your mouth while you tuck into the next oyster. Magnificent.
