Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Shucking Oysters

    Carefully shuck the fresh oysters, discarding the top shell and keeping the oyster in the bottom shell. Place them on a platter with rock salt to keep them stable.

  2. 2

    Making Mignonette Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mignonette sauce ingredients, which typically includes finely chopped shallots, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Preparing the Garnishes

    Squeeze the lemon to extract fresh juice, and set aside. Prepare the oyster crackers and horseradish for serving.

  4. 4

    Assembling the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the shucked oysters. Serve alongside the mignonette sauce, prepared horseradish, a small bowl of habanero tincture, lemon wedges, and oyster crackers.
