Method

Mignonette Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Strawberries

    Wash, hull, and finely chop the fresh strawberries. Place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Shallots

    Peel and finely chop the shallot. Add it to the bowl with the strawberries.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    Pour the red wine vinegar over the strawberry and shallot mixture. Add fresh black pepper and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Let it Rest

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mignonette sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Oyster Preparation

  1. 5

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each oyster, discarding the top shell and leaving the oyster in the bottom shell. Place the oysters on a bed of crushed ice to keep them cold.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Once the mignonette has rested, spoon a small amount over each oyster. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
