Hog Island Oyster Co.’s take on the classic mignonette is their signature accompaniment to raw oysters and the featured condiment in all of their restaurants.
Ingredients
- 1 large shallot, peeled and minced
- 1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
- ¼ cup natural rice vinegar
- Juice of 1 juicy lime
- ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
Preparation
Mix all, except the cilantro, in a small (preferably glass) bowl. Refrigerate for one hour. Shuck oysters, keeping as much liquid in the shell as possible. Place the oysters, in their shells, on a bed of ice on a deep-sided plate. Add the cilantro to the Hog Wash and serve in a small bowl alongside the oysters. A small amount should be spooned over each oyster just before eating. Makes enough for 2 dozen oysters.
