Finger limes are among my favourite native ingredients. They especially complement seafood dishes with their clean, sharp flavour profile and the wonderful crunchy, delicate texture of their "pearls" or globular vesicles. For this recipe I have teamed fresh finger lime or 'lime caviar' with freshly shucked oysters and chilli, a delicious and refreshing way to begin our summer Christmas feast.

  • 1 x dozen freshly shucked Sydney rock oysters (or the best oysters available on the day)
