Oyster rocks at the rib

1) Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6. In a small bowl combine the spinach, onion, Parmesan, cayenne pepper, black pepper, white wine and melted butter.

2) Shuck the oysters and leave them on the half shell. Top with a heaped tbsp of the spinach mixture and arrange them on a baking tray. Bake for approximately 10 minutes.

3) Remove the oysters from the oven and top each with a slice of tomato and cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts.

4) Transfer the oysters to a serving platter and serve with a wedge of lemon and a good hot sauce.

Cook's Note: The hardest part of this recipe is to find fresh oysters and shuck them.
