Ingredients
- 1 dozen oysters, freshly shucked
- 1 tbsp finely diced tomato
- 125 ml (½ cup) lime juice
- ½ habanero chilli, seeds removed, thinly sliced
- ½ bird’s eye chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
- ¼ cup finely shredded coriander
- 1 small French shallot, finely chopped
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- ½ small Lebanese cucumber, peeled in intervals, very thinly sliced (optional)
- 100 ml pisco
- 1 pinch caster sugar
Instructions
Place a non-reactive bowl into a large bowl with iced water. Pour the juice from the oysters through a fine sieve into the bowl to remove any grit. Add the oysters to the bowl with the juice along with the tomato, lime juice, chillies, coriander, shallot, salt and cucumber. Stir to combine.
Using a slotted spoon, spoon the solids onto a chilled serving plate. Strain the tiger’s milk through a fine sieve into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Pour in the pisco, add the sugar, and shake until chilled.
Serve the oyster ceviche with shots of pisco tiger’s milk.
