Irish Oysters With Red-Onion Balsamic Vinegar, and Home -Dried R Recipe #21142
Johnathon Swift once said"He was a bold man who first ate an oyster" To do this dish justice you must have fresh, fresh oysters. The recipe sounds fussy but if you measure out every thing it is very simple to do step by step just plan your timing. This recipe is from "Elegant Irish Cooking"
