Barbecued oysters and bacon with a pickled onion salad
To make James Martin’s recipe for barbecued oysters and bacon with a pickled onion salad, you need the following ingredients:
50ml olive oil
4 slices of white bread, diced
12 slices of streaky bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of pickled onion vinegar
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
120g bag mixed salad leaves
1 red little gem lettuce, sliced
small bunch of tarragon, leaves only
5 pickled onions, sliced
12 freshly shucked oysters in their shells
To make, light your barbecue.
When the coals are silvery in colour, it’s ready to cook on.
Heat a non-stick flameproof frying pan on the BBQ.
When hot, pour in half of the oil, add the bread and fry until golden and crisps, tossing a few times so the croutons cook evenly.
Transfer to a bowl.
Drizzle the remaining oil into the same pan, then add the bacon and fry until crisp.
Drain the fat into a separate large mixing bowl, and transfer the bacon to the bowl with the croutons.
Whisk the mustard and pickled onion vinegar into the bacon fat and season well.
Add the salad leaves, lettuce, tarragon and sliced pickled onions to the bowl, toss well, then add half of the crispy bacon and croutons and toss again until everything is well dressed.
Put the oysters in their shells directly onto the coals of the BBQ and cook for two to three minutes.
Use protective gloves or tongs to remove the cooked oysters from the BBQ, as the shells will be very hot.
To serve, lay the oysters around the outside of a large round plate, top with the remaining bacon and croutons and pile the dresses salad in the middle.
