Chef's Tips
Ensure the oysters are very fresh. Smell them before shucking – they should smell like the ocean.
Adjust the amount of chili based on your spice preference.
For a visually appealing presentation, garnish with extra lemon verbena leaves or edible flowers.

Easy"Black Butter, a traditional Jersey preserve made with apples, cider, and spices, offers a taste of local heritage. The crumble provides a comforting texture, contrasting with the lobster, while the lavender infused cream adds a light, floral note that balances the richness of the butter and apples, and echoes the herbal notes of the main course, without being overly heavy."
