Oysters and Mignonette
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Mignonette
In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallot, and crushed black peppercorns. Stir well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck the oysters, being cautious of the sharp edges. Discard the top shell and place the oysters on a serving platter with the cupped side facing up.
Serve
Drizzle the prepared mignonette over the oysters or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
