Oysters Wallis and Futuna

Ingredients

In the original Australian version of Oysters Kirkpatrick, the oysters are typically topped with Worcestershire sauce, bacon, and cheese before being grilled. However, in this Wallis and Futuna adaptation, we replace those ingredients with traditional Wallis and Futuna spices, such as turmeric, ginger, and garlic, and add a touch of coconut cream for richness. We alse have the original recipe for Oysters Kirkpatrick, so you can check it out.
