Champagne mignonette is a classic French sauce that is made with finely chopped shallots, red wine vinegar, freshly ground black pepper, and champagne. It is traditionally served with oysters, but it can also be used as a dressing for other seafood dishes, such as scallops or shrimp. The sauce is easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. Additionally, it can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

MIGNONETTE SAUCE
This simple recipe gives you a classic mignonette sauce for oysters, clams or other seafood, but you can play with the basic formula by changing the vinegar (try cider, malt, sherry, champagne), swapping the allium (try leeks, scallions or red onion), adding a squeeze of citrus juice or stirring in some fresh herbs like tarragon or mint. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes before serving, so the flavors can blend and the sauce can be at its tangy, peppery best.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh mignonette peppercorns and shallots will give your mignonette the best flavor. Champagne vinegar is not as acidic as other vinegars, so you can use it more liberally.
- Make the mignonette ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can make the mignonette just before serving, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Serve the mignonette chilled. This will help to keep the oysters fresh and crisp.
- Use a variety of mignonette recipes. There are many different ways to make mignonette, so experiment until you find one that you love. Some popular variations include adding herbs, spices, or fruit.
- Be careful not to overpower the oysters. Mignonette is meant to enhance the flavor of the oysters, not overwhelm it. Use a light hand when adding it to your oysters.
Conclusion:
Mignonette is a classic condiment that is perfect for serving with oysters. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like it simple or complex, there's a mignonette recipe out there for you. So next time you're enjoying oysters, be sure to try mignonette. You won't be disappointed!
