Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups (packed) fresh basil leaves
3/4 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked (about 5 ounces)
1/4 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
30 fresh oysters, shucked, shells reserved

Steps:

  • Combine basil, hazelnuts, breadcrumbs, cheese, 1/4 cup water, lemon juice and garlic in processor. Blend until mixture is finely chopped. Add butter and process until smooth paste forms. Season pesto to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  • Preheat broiler. Arrange oysters in half shells on 2 large baking sheets. Top each oyster with 1 1/2 teaspoons pesto. Working in batches, broil until pesto begins to brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Place 3 oysters on each plate and serve.

This dish was a complete disaster. The oysters were overcooked and the pesto was burnt.

I wouldn't recommend this dish. The oysters were tough and the pesto was flavorless.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. The oysters were cooked well, but the pesto was a bit bland.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt in the pesto next time.

I found the pesto to be a bit too oily. Next time I'll use less olive oil.

I'm not a fan of hazelnuts, so I substituted walnuts in the pesto. It turned out great!

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The pesto is creamy and nutty, and the oysters are briny and succulent.

I'm not a huge fan of oysters, but I really enjoyed these. The pesto masked the fishy flavor of the oysters and made them much more palatable.

The hazelnut pesto was a great addition to the oysters. It added a nutty flavor that complemented the brininess of the oysters.
