Recipe: Mignonette Sauce for Oysters

A mignonette sauce is the perfect match for oysters. The sharp acidity of the vinegar, the mild bite from the shallots, and just a touch of freshly ground pepper, it’s the kind of contrast that really brings out the best in oysters without stealing the show.

I like my mignonette with extra shallots, because I love that little crunch and the way the flavor lingers. But if you prefer it a bit more subtle, just scale back the shallot to your liking.
