Oysters

Method

Preparing the Oysters

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the oysters under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush if necessary.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of the oyster and twist to open. Discard the top shell and keep the oyster in the bottom shell.

Making the Mignonette Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallots, and crushed black peppercorns.

  2. 4

    Let it Rest

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

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Oysters

    Arrange the shucked oysters on a platter with crushed ice.

  2. 6

    Add Mignonette Sauce

    Drizzle the mignonette sauce over the oysters or serve it on the side.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Serve with lemon wedges and sprinkle chopped parsley over the oysters for a fresh touch.
