Oysters and Mignonette

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, combine the minced Serrano chili, chopped cilantro, and red wine vinegar. Season with salt to taste. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the fresh oysters using an oyster knife, ensuring to keep the oyster liquor in the shell. Discard the top shell.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange the shucked oysters on a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each oyster, then spoon a small amount of the Serrano and cilantro mignonette over each one. Serve immediately.
