The Story

Mignonette is there to sharpen the oyster, not cover it up. Keep the shallot fine, the pepper coarse, and the vinegar clean.

1

Combine the vinegar, shallot, and black pepper in a small bowl.

2

Let sit at least 15 minutes before serving so the shallot softens slightly.

3

Serve cold with oysters.

Jason's Notes

A proper mignonette is brutally simple. Vinegar, shallot, and coarse pepper are enough when the oyster is good.
