I must admit I am not a big fan of oysters. Actually, I do not eat them. I know, I know… what foodie am I, right?? I just cannot bring myself to like them, which is a shame considering the great quality-at-reasonable-prices-oysters that you can find in Sydney! But my husband eats them for both of us whenever they are on the menu. So, being the amazing wife that I am (;-P), I decided to make him a special lunch. Oysters Kilpatrick is the way my husband prefers to eat his oysters… so there you have it: home-made oysters Kilpatrick (you won’t believe how easy they are to make!). Enjoy!
Recipe adapted from ABC
Ingredients: (per person)
1 dozen fresh Pacific Oysters, opened
100 gms – 3.5 oz. bacon, diced
1 lemon
3 tbsp ketchup
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Coarse salt
Mix the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce together to make the “Kilpatrick” sauce and keep it aside.
Cover an oven tray with a bed of coarse salt and put the oysters on it. Divide the bacon over the oysters and top them with a little bit of Kilpatrick sauce (about 1 tsp per oyster).
Grill in the oven until the bacon is cooked (about 10 minutes)
Serve with the extra Kilpatrick sauce and lemon wedges.

I don’t like oysters either but these look like a real treat.
Manu! I typically only eat oysters raw because I don’t like them cooked. But this just might be what turns things around for me! Yummy!!!!
This is what I grew up with [forgive the grammar] – together with oysters Czarina and Mornay they were on every business lunch menu five days a week! And we did have buiness lunch five days a week! Where else would you discuss all the nuances 😉 ! Once I learned the wonder of oysters au naturel [yes, can eat them every day of the year!] the Kilpatrick was last to go – ketchup was not used in those days: just the bacon & Worcestreshire & sometimes a breath of cognac 🙂 ! Aren’t I dating myself!!!!
I love oysters and cannot eat them anymore because I get deadly sick everytime I try. My last attempt was on my honeymoon in Paris (how could I not?) and ended up sick as a dog. I loved mine simple, with just a squeeze of lemon, and raw of course. Had never heard of this recipe and it has got me wondering how I would react to cooked oysters?
