Number Of Ingredients 9

1 shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from one 1/4 ounce envelope)
1/4 cup water
36 oysters, scrubbed well and shucked, top shells removed
Prepared horseradish, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix shallot, pepper, and vinegars in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over 1 tablespoon water in another bowl, and let soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat remaining 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan until steaming. Stir in gelatin mixture. Pour some of the hot liquid into the bowl that the gelatin was in, swirl around, and pour back into pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until gelatin dissolves. Pour through a sieve into vinegar mixture. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours (or overnight).
  • To serve, spoon about 1/2 teaspoon gelee onto each oyster (amount may differ depending on the size of each oyster), and serve with horseradish and lemon wedges.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the mignonette gelee didn't set properly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The oysters were not as fresh as I would have liked. They were a bit mushy.

I found the mignonette gelee to be a bit too sweet. I would have preferred a more savory flavor.

The oysters were a little too briny for my taste, but the mignonette gelee helped to tone down the flavor.

These oysters with mignonette gelee were a delightful treat! The briny flavor of the oysters paired perfectly with the tangy, slightly sweet gelee.
