Oysters with Nam Jim Granita

Cuisine

Thai

Recipe Description

Kaffir lime is as indispensable in Thai cooking as parsley in an Italian nonna’s kitchen. When crushed, leaves from this citrus tree are intensely aromatic, adding a unique freshness and vibrancy to food. A tip: If you don’t have a kaffir lime tree you can buy the leaves from an Asian grocer and freeze any you don’t use. Nam jim is a traditional Thai dipping sauce reimagined in this recipe as a granita!

Ingredient List

300 g (10½ oz) cheap table salt
12 shucked oysters
4 kaffir lime leaves, julienned as thinly as possible
Nam jim granita
2 long green chillies, seeds removed
1 garlic clove
2 spring onions (scallions), green parts only
juice of 3 limes
20 ml (¾ fl oz) fish sauce
20 g (¾ oz) palm sugar (jaggery)
20 g (¾ oz) coriander (cilantro) leaves

Recipe Steps

Blitz all the granita ingredients together in a blender with 100 ml (3½ fl oz) water, then strain it into a baking tray. Check the seasoning, then put it in the freezer for 2 hours. Once it is an ice block, use a fork to scrape it to become a granita and return it to the freezer until you’re ready to serve. 

Combine the salt with a bit of water to form a paste. (It’s just for presentation, not for eating!) Spread the salt paste out on the serving platter and place the oysters on top. Spoon over the granita and then scatter with the kaffir lime. Serve immediately, as the granita will melt.
