Oysters and Mignonette Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette Sauce

    Finely chop the shallots and place them in a small bowl. Add the red wine vinegar and black peppercorns. Mix well and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck the oysters, discarding the top shell and keeping the oyster in the bottom shell. Place the shucked oysters on a serving platter.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Spoon a small amount of the mignonette sauce over each oyster and serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
