Recipe Ingredients

1/4 c Pine nuts
3 Garlic cloves; peeled
2 Shallots; peeled
2 tb Parsley, fresh; chopped
2 tb Chives, fresh; chopped
2 tb Juice, lemon
1 tb Brandy
1 ts Pepper, black
3/4 c Butter; room temperature
18 Oysters; in shells, scrubbed

Directions

Scatter pine nuts in a pie plate nd bake in a 350 degree oven until
golden, 4-6 minutes. Pour toasted nuts into a food processor along
with the garlic, shallots, parsley, chives, lemon juice, brandy and
pepper; whirl until finely chopped. Slowly add the butter and pulse
until just blended; bits of all the ingredients should still be
visible. Shuck oysters and discard top shells. Nestle oysters, in
their bottom shells, in a 1/2 inch layer of rock salt in a baking pan
or shallow oven-proof dish. Spoon about 1 teaspoon butter on top of
each oyster (freeze leftover butter) Bake oysters in a 375 degree
oven until they become firm and butter melts, 8-10 minutes.
