Oysters and Mignonette

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallots, chopped tarragon, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife, being cautious not to spill the juices. Place the shucked oysters on a bed of crushed ice on a serving platter.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Drizzle the tarragon mignonette over the fresh oysters and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
