It's most likely that Oysters Mombassa as a dish originated with
British Colonial expatriates in
Kenya, but it has now assumed the status of a national dish.
Ingredients:
36 fresh
oysters, cleaned, shucked and on the half-shell
120ml white wine
African hot sauce to taste
salt and freshly-ground black pepper and
chilli flakes, to taste
1 small bunch
coriander, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
125g butter
Method:
Melt the butter in a saucepan then add the garlic and coriander. Fry for a few minutes before adding the wine, hot sauce and seasoning. Remove from the heat.
Arrange the oysters on a baking tray and drizzle a tablespoon of sauce over each one. Place in an oven pre-heated to 170°C (150°C fan/325°F/Gas Mark 3) and bake for between six and eight minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and with any remaining sauce and hot sauce on the side.
