Oysters and Mignonette

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, chopped cilantro, finely chopped habanero pepper, and shallots. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the fresh oysters, discarding the top shell. Arrange the oysters on a platter, leaving the oyster meat in the bottom shell.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Spoon a small amount of the habanero cilantro mignonette over each oyster. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
