Oysters and Mignonette

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallot, freshly cracked black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well and let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife, making sure to retain the liquor in each shell. Place the shucked oysters on a serving platter filled with crushed ice.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Spoon a small amount of the red wine mignonette over each oyster. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
