Marinated Oysters

To serve 4 as a first course

2 dozen fresh medium-sized shucked oysters and their liquor
1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced in rings (about 1/2 cup)
1 lemon, sliced crosswise into paper-thin slices
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon mixed pickling spice

1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup olive oil

Place the shucked oysters and their liquor in a 10- to 12-inch skillet and cook uncovered over moderate heat for 2 or 3 minutes, until the oysters are plump and their edges begin to curl. Immediately pour the contents of the pan into a fine sieve set over a large bowl and let the oysters drain. Set the liquid aside. Arrange the oysters in a glass or enameled dish just large enough to hold them in one layer, and scatter the onion and lemon slices evenly over the top.

In a 1- to 1 1/2-quart enameled or stainless-steel saucepan, combine the vinegar, drained oyster liquor and pickling spice, and bring to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered about 8 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, discard the spices, and let the liquid cool to room temperature before pouring it over the oysters. Sprinkle them with the salt, pepper, parsley and olive oil, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for two days before serving.
