Oysters

Mignonette Sauce

Method

Preparing Oysters

  1. 1

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open. Slide the knife along the top shell to detach the meat, then remove the top shell.

  2. 2

    Cleaning the Oysters

    Rinse the oysters under cold water to remove any grit or sand. Place them on a platter filled with crushed ice to keep them cold.

Making Mignonette Sauce

  1. 3

    Chop the Shallot

    Peel and finely chop the shallot.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix the chopped shallot, red wine vinegar, and freshly cracked black pepper. Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Oysters

    Place the cleaned oysters on the ice-filled platter. Serve with lemon wedges and the mignonette sauce on the side.
