MIGNONETTE SAUCE
About ½ cup; enough for 24 oysters
Classic with oysters on the half shell, this sauce is good with any raw shellfish. Many different types of vinegar can be substituted for the red wine vinegar. Try sherry, vermouth, or Banyuls vinegar, or an infused vinegar.
Mix together in a small bowl:
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- 4 teaspoons minced shallots
- (1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley)
- 2 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
