Oysters

Apple & Mustard Seed Mignonette

Method

Oysters Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the Beau Soleil oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush if necessary to scrub the shells.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully open the oysters using an oyster knife. Insert the knife into the hinge of the oyster and twist to open. Discard the top shell and place the oysters on a bed of crushed ice to keep them chilled.

Mignonette Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Mignonette Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped shallot, diced green apple, apple cider vinegar, mustard seeds, and honey. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.

  2. 4

    Season the Mignonette

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

  3. 5

    Let it Rest

    Allow the mignonette to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Oysters

    Place the chilled oysters on a serving platter. Drizzle the apple and mustard seed mignonette over each oyster just before serving.
