Remove from the freezer and rinse with cold water.Freeze overnight or until you need them.Place your fresh un-shucked oysters in a bag in the freezer.I got the tip from Jo over at The Farmhouse Pantry. You will find that many fishmongers sell oysters ready shucked, or they will shuck them for you on request.īut I have a top tip today that BLEW MY MIND when I heard it. So when we get them we want to prepare them simply, deliciously and perfectly. Enter my Oysters with Champagne Strawberry Mignonette. Not jealous at all 😉īut for the rest of us, oysters will remain a treat. Well unless you are my friend Lady Jo (who really is a Lady!!!), who moved to Tasmania and is now neighbours and best friends with an oyster farmer!!! For her oysters are a regular occurrence.
Now given the price tag, sadly we can't replace our chicken breasts with oysters on a regular basis. Studies have shown they can actually lower cholesterol and they are a better source of protein than chicken breasts!

Oysters with Champagne Strawberry MignonetteĪnd the nutritional answer is yes! They are actually super healthy! They are low fat, full of protein, amino acids, iron and zinc.What vinegar to use for a Mignonette sauce.1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsleyĬombine the vinegar, shallots, peppercorns, and parsley, and sparkling wine chill.1 teaspoon pink peppercorns, coarsely crushed.If you try this recipe, I’d love to hear your feedback! Comment below and tag #nakedepicurean on your photos. These creamy gems of the sea garnished with rosy berries pair well with a Chablis or (you guessed it) bubbles. Taste them and tell me if you, too, are mesmerized. You don’t want to lose their briny liquor. Rest them in rock salt to stabilize them. The splash of sparkling wine gives these oysters a bright zip. That, my pretties, is one of the reasons I chose them: they are so charismatic against these pillowy oysters, all enveloped in a lovely paisley-shaped shell. Because that is the case, they often used more as an intriguing garnish than a spice, especially in seafood dishes. Pepperberries are described as having notes of licorice and sugar but are not nearly as peppery as authentic pepper. The berries have a flaky texture which means they are too soft to be ground they must be crushed Not only is their flavor milder than authentic pepper, but their texture differs, too. Those fetching fuchsia pepperberries are the dried drupes of the Baies rose plant.
It is likely you are buying pink pepperberries impersonating pink peppercorns-pink pepperberries posing as proper pepper. Peppercorns come from Piper nigrum, and they are black, white, and green. Why? Because those bold, beautiful berries you are buying in the store are not really pink peppercorns. This is by far the best recipe for Pink Peppercorn Mignonette you will ever eat! And to adhere to the red and pink motif of the holiday, I chose to make this mignonette with pink peppercorns. Oysters are often associated with special occasions. Oysters intrigue me on so many levels: from their vital role in the ocean ecosystem to the anticipation of cracking open the bivalve to find the treasure inside.
