Silver Vodka Mignonette for Oysters
David says, “If this combination doesn’t fire up the love engine, I don’t know what will.” Woo hoo! He also suggests you could boil the alcohol out of the vodka before proceeding with the recipe. Just let it cool down first.
1/2 cup good quality vodka
2 Tbsp. sherry or champagne vinegar
1 medium or 2 small shallots, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
Quickly mix all ingredients in a small bowl or jelly jar. Allow to chill for an hour in the refrigerator. Use a small silver spoon to place dabs of the sauce on freshly opened oysters on the half shell. You do not have to use a silver spoon for this step, but it helps. Trust me.
