Hog Wash

Still thinking about the awesome oysters I had recently from Hog Island Oyster Company. Summertime, and especially with this warm-for-us stretch of late, lends itself so well to oysters and, say, a nice (and not too cold) chardonnay. Anyway, one of the fun parts of oysters besides eating them is trying different things with them. I'm partial to either a couple-three dabs of Crystal Louisiana hot sauce or a drizzle of Hog Island Oyster Company's very own Hog Wash. I was able to wrestle away the Hog Wash recipe just for Every Meal A Feast readers (well, it's on the back of their biz cards, too). Anyway, here tis. Enjoy.

Hog Wash

1/2 cup natural rice vinegar

1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped shallots

1/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped

1 jalapeno, seeded and diced

juice of 1 lime

Mix well and drizzle over fresh oysters. Superb!
