Grilled Italian Oysters with Lemon, Herbs & Aleppo
VeganWhole Italian Oyster clusters brushed with herb-garlic oil, grilled over high heat until charred at the petals, finished with lemon and Aleppo chili. Side dish that steals the meal.
-
1
Whisk olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and Aleppo pepper in a small bowl.
-
2
Heat a grill (gas or charcoal) to medium-high. Brush grates clean.
-
3
Brush both sides of each Italian Oyster cluster generously with the herb oil.
-
4
Grill 3-4 minutes per side, undisturbed — the petals should char in places and the clusters wilt without disintegrating.
-
5
Move to a serving platter. Squeeze the lemon halves over while still hot.
-
6
Drizzle with any remaining herb oil. Finish with flaky salt + cracked pepper.
-
7
Serve hot or warm with grilled bread, alongside steak, or as the centerpiece of a vegetable plate.
