Oysters

Mignonette Sauce

Method

Preparing the Oysters

  1. 1

    Shucking the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife. Hold the oyster in a towel with the flat side up, insert the knife at the hinge, twist to open, and slide it under the meat to detach it from the shell.

  2. 2

    Cleaning the Oysters

    Rinse the shucked oysters under cold running water to remove any grit or debris, then place them on a plate or serving tray with the deeper shell side down.

Making the Mignonette Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallot, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well to mix.

  2. 4

    Let it Rest

    Allow the mignonette sauce to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plating the Oysters

    Place the cleaned oysters on a serving platter. Drizzle a teaspoon of the mignonette sauce over each oyster.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Add lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley on the platter for garnish.

  3. 7

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the oysters chilled and enjoy immediately for the best flavor.
