This traditional French mignonette sauce combines red wine vinegar, finely minced shallots, cracked black pepper, and salt to create the perfect tangy accompaniment for fresh oysters. The key is mincing the shallots finely and letting them macerate in the vinegar for at least 15 minutes to mellow their sharp bite.
