Mignonette Recipe
Description
This basic mignonette sauce consists of minced shallots blended with red wine vinegar and freshly cracked black pepper. The sharp acidity of the vinegar balances the sweet, mild heat of the shallots and the pungency of the pepper. The ingredients are combined in a serving bowl, and it is customary to taste and adjust the seasoning according to preference before serving.
Mignonette is traditionally paired with freshly shucked oysters and lemons, enhancing the oyster's natural briny flavors without overpowering them. The simplicity of the sauce highlights the seafood while adding a refreshing, slightly spicy tang.
Ingredients

- Add the red (or white) wine vinegar to the shallot bowl and add the cracked black pepper.
