Mignon
Mignon is a French word meaning "dainty" or "cute", and can refer to a number of different dishes. Mignonette sauce is a classic French sauce made with vinegar, shallots, and black pepper, and is typically served with oysters. Mignonettes can also be made with other ingredients such as Herbes de Provence, white wine, or lemon juice.
Mignonette recipes can be traced back to the 18th century, when they were first mentioned in a French cookbook. The dish became popular in the 19th century, and was often served at fashionable dinner parties. Mignonettes continued to be popular in the 20th century, and are still made today.
While mignonettes are typically made with vinegar, shallots, and black pepper, there are many variations of the dish. Some recipes call for white wine instead of vinegar, while others add lemon juice or Herbes de Provence. No matter what ingredients are used, mignonettes are a classic French sauce that are sure to add a touch of elegance to any meal.
