Oysters and Mignonette

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, combine the pink peppercorns, sake, red wine vinegar, and shallots. Stir well to combine and let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the oyster shells under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a stiff brush if necessary.

  3. 3

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck the oysters, prying open the shells and removing the meat, leaving it in the bottom shell. Be cautious of the shell edges.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the shucked oysters on a bed of crushed ice on a serving platter. Drizzle with the pink peppercorn and sake mignonette. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
