Char-Grilled Oysters with Roquefort Cheese and Red Wine Vinaigrette
Recipe courtesy of Scott Snodgrass from One.
2 bunches scallions, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1/8 cup honey
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup olive oil
2 cups crumbled Roquefort cheese
2 lemons, juiced
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 dozen oysters on the half shell
In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients except the oysters, trying not to
break up the cheese too much; set aside.
Prepare a hot grill. Charcoal is preferred, but a gas grill is fine as long as it is hot.
When grill is hot, place oysters in the half shell directly on the grill and ladle 2
tablespoons of the vinaigrette on each oyster. Grill for about 3 to 4 minutes, or
until the oysters plump up and their edges begin to curl. Serve immediately.
