For 12 oysters

Granita

½ cup cucumber, peeled, watery seeds removed, diced into about 1 cm / 1/2-inch cubes
1 tsp lime zest
3 tbsp lime juice
2 tsp caster sugar
1 tbsp jalapeño, finely chopped, deseeded

For serving

12–24 oysters
jalapeño slices, for decoration, optional

Instructions

Granita

Step 1: Put the granita ingredients in a jug just large enough to fit a stick blender. Blend until smooth, like a smoothie. Pour into a small container so the depth is no more than 3 cm / 2.2 inches. Freeze for 6 hours or more, until fully frozen.
Step 2: Use a fork to scrape the frozen granita into shavings. Serve immediately or return it to the freezer until needed.

Serving

Step 3: Place the oysters on a serving platter and pile the granita on top. Add jalapeño slices for decoration, if desired.

Notes

The granita keeps in the freezer for at least a month, scraped or unscraped.

Serve the oysters on ice, rock salt, or leafy greens to help keep them cold and provide a stable base.
