What is Mignonette sauce?
Mignonette sauce is vinaigrette, which is considered a classic oyster sauce. This sauce, which was usually a teaspoon for oysters, consists of a reduction of wine and vinegar that can be spicy with herbs and spices. The term Mignonette refers to a cracked pepper, which is always used in this sauce rather than the sauce itself.
The spice, which is often added to Mignonette sauces, include shallots and sometimes white pepper or coriander. They always include cracked black or white pepper or coarse ground pepper. Jalapeño peppers can be added for more spicy sauces. Although salt is also a supplement, it is generally used sparingly, because oysters already have a salty taste. If the wine is not used, instead of white or red wine or champagne vinegar is always used. The wine vinegar can also be combined with dry white wine.
Although a mixture of wine-always is almost always placed in a pan and reduced, this sauce can be made without lowering the wine. However, the alcohol content that is burned in the reduction processIt grows in a non -remedied version of Mignonette sauces. Usually, however, the unreded versions of this sauce do not include wine or champagne and instead use vinegar.
Reduction simply heats the liquid to force evaporation to reduce the volume of the liquid. The volume usually decreases by half. This densify the liquid and gives it a stronger taste, because it usually evaporates mostly the content of water or pure alcohol.
As soon as the reduction is completed, additional ingredients are added and the sauce is mixed. Although it can remain at room temperature overnight, it is usually served cold. Mignonette sauce can keep more than a month in the fridge.
serve, oysters are growing oysters. Since oysters are usually consumed raw, it is extremely important to ensure that oysters are good before consumption. If their shells are open at all before undressing or ejecting strongly from rotten eggs, they hadwould be an oyster to be thrown away. Shacking oysters include both curious opening of the shell and disconnecting the oyster from the shell by cutting the connecting muscle.
Lemon wedges are usually provided as an ornament and their juice is pressed to oysters before adding the sauce. Then the sauce is a spoon over the top of the oyster. Mignonette sauce can also be served with clams.
