A classic, proper one is made with just red wine vinegar and eschalots (called shallots in the US). No messing around with oil, no sugar, no salt. Itâs meant to be clear and pink and pure, not sweet, oily and brown. Itâs sharp â being that itâs just made with vinegar. So itâs just like squeezing fresh tangy lemon juice on oysters, with the extra flavour from the eschalots! It just goes so well with creamy, briny oysters. ![]() What you need for mignonette for oystersHereâs all that goes into a classic mignonette. ![]()
How to make Mignonette for oystersI feel almost silly having this section in this post!! You just combine the vinegar and eschalots and mix. Make this at least a couple of hours ahead of serving, if you can, to give the flavours a chance to meld. ![]() ![]() How much mignonette to use per oysterSpeaking of the eating part though! This sauce is sharp â donât eat spoonfuls of it plain. But it works with creamy oysters. Thereâs no rule about quantity to use because it comes down to personal taste. But as a guide, a typical amount would be 1/2 teaspoon for small oysters and 3/4 teaspoon for large. Some people will use more liberally! No video today. Itâs an easy recipe! Also, I shared 2 more oyster recipes today â see them here. Love to know what you think if you try it. â Nagi x ![]() Mignonette Sauce for Oysters
This is a classic recipe for mignonette sauce to serve with oysters, a staple at fine dining restaurants. Think of this as an elevated alternative to eating oysters with just a squeeze of fresh lemon juice â vinegar provides tang plus extra flavour from eschalots with the bonus of a lovely pink colour!
Makes enough for 24 oysters. Some people use only a little, others go to town with it.

Notes
1. Eschalots âAlso known as French onions, and called âshallotsâ in the US. They look like baby onions, but have purple-skinned flesh, are finer and sweeter. Onions are too chunky for mignonette.
Not to be confused with what some people in Australia call âshallotsâ ie the long green onions.
2. Good vinegar â With just 2 ingredients and no oil in mignonette, thereâs nothing to hide behind! So the better quality vinegar you can get, the better your mignonette. 3. Oysters â Both Sydney Rock (smaller, stronger flavour) and Pacific (fleshier, cleaner flavour) oysters are great. These are the two main varieties here in Australia. Flavour and quality comes down to where they are grown. I love: Tasmanian, Merimbula, Port Stephens, Batemans Bay, Boomer Bay. But there are many more from around Australia that are great I havenât tried or I donât see them here in Sydney! 4. Serving oysters â I generally serve on either a bed of crushed ice, rock salt (though have to dispose so I rarely do this) or a bed of cheap leafy greens (like watercress, whateverâs good value at the time). Make ahead â You can make this the morning of the day you plan to serve. To get ahead the day before, Iâd chop the eschallots and keep them in a container then mix on the day. Life of DozerWe did a wreath making session for a team-building event (I know, not very RecipeTin, but somehow the team managed to corrupt an innocent crafting session). Are you at all surprised that one ended up on Dozer? ![]() The post Mignonette Sauce for Oysters appeared first on RecipeTin Eats.
