Oysters and Mignonette

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Watermelon Mignonette

    In a bowl, combine the diced watermelon, red wine vinegar, and finely chopped chives. Mix well and season with salt to taste. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the fresh oysters using an oyster knife. Place the shucked oysters on a bed of crushed ice to keep them chilled.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the oysters, then spoon a small amount of the watermelon mignonette on top of each oyster. Serve immediately.
