Horseradish Mignonette

Oysters.  They seem to be one of those things you either love or hate.  We love them.  And because we live on an island, we are fortunate enough to be able to get them super fresh.

This light and tangy mignonette has just a hint of horseradish.  It is the perfect compliment to fresh shucked oysters.

Horseradish Mignonette

3/4 Cup White Wine Vinegar

2 Tsp horseradish

2 TBSP finely diced red onion

1 tsp lemon zest

dash of fresh ground pepper

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours before using.

Shuck the oysters, and drizzle on the mignonette.

Some additional tips & ideas for this recipe:

• You can use shallots in place of red onion
• Use whatever heat of horseradish you prefer
• In a pinch, you can use the mignonette right away, but it will develop better flavour the long you let it sit
