Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 shallot
  • 5 strawberries
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper fresh cracked
  • ¼ cup vinegar - see note 1
  • 12 oysters - shucked (see note 2)

Instructions

  1. Peel and finely mince the shallot and place into a non-metallic bowl.
  2. Hull the strawberries and then finely chop them and add them to the shallots.
  3. Pour over the black pepper and vinegar.
  4. Stir to combine and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  5. Spoon your mignonette dressing on top of the oysters and serve.

Notes

  • I like to use champagne vinegar, but white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar will work just as well. Avoid balsamic vinegar.
  • Ask your fishmonger to shuck the oysters for you or follow these simple steps for an easy way to open oysters at home:

    Place your un-shucked oysters in a bag. Freeze oysters overnight. (or until you need them.) Remove the oyster from the freezer. Rinse with cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Leave the oysters on a draining board to defrost. The shells will pop ajar slightly as they defrost and you can easily remove them. Dress your oysters as per the recipe.
