Oysters

Apple & Mustard Seed Mignonette

Method

Preparing the Mignonette

  1. 1

    Combine the Mignonette Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, finely chopped shallot, yellow mustard seeds, honey, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add the Apple

    Fold in the finely diced green apple into the mignonette mixture. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Preparing the Oysters

  1. 3

    Shucking the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the Beau Soleil oysters using an oyster knife. Hold the oyster in a towel to protect your hand and insert the knife into the hinge of the oyster to open it.

  2. 4

    Presentation

    Arrange the shucked oysters on a serving platter, ideally over a bed of crushed ice to keep them cold.

  3. 5

    Serving

    Spoon a small amount of the apple and mustard seed mignonette over each oyster just before serving.
