Oysters and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, shallots, and black peppercorns. Mix well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cocktail Sauce

    In another bowl, mix the chili sauce and horseradish together. Adjust the amount of horseradish according to your taste.

  3. 3

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the oysters, discarding the top shell. Arrange the oysters on a platter, ensuring they remain on the half shell.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the oysters chilled with the mignonette, cocktail sauce, and hot sauce on the side for drizzling.
