Spanish oysters

Ingredients: Oysters baked with spicy vegetable gazpacho

Damage: $8

Skinny: Not a traditional pureed gazpacho, this dish has large chunks of fresh vegetables, including celery and squash, that retain their crispiness after being baked for just a few minutes atop oysters. The combination is mouth-wateringly spicy and nutty at the same time, playing on flavor combinations that are as interesting as they are refreshing.
