Simple Dressed Oysters

When eating a raw Oyster's you want to be able to enjoy the flavour. However, adding some accompaniments and dressing the oyster can help to make that flavour sing. Here are a few suggestions for dressing your Oysters.

• A Classic Mignonette
• Tabasco
• Lemon 
• Other Mignonette Variations

Classic Mignonette

Ingredients:

• ½ cup red wine vinegar
• 2 Tbsp shallot minced
• ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
• pinch of salt

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, then whisk to combine.
2. Set aside at room temperature for 2 hours.

If you want to be a bit less traditional here are a few ways you can change up the mignonette:

• Mince a jalapeño or other chili to make it spicy
• Cube or dice sweet apple to make it sweet
• Add minced garlic and grated ginger with a sprinkle of fresh herbs (coriander or chives) for an Asian twist
• Try adding minced cucumber (peel it first) for a fresh and light dressing.
