I have made this mignonette for friends and family to accompany local Massachusetts oysters and recently found it to be especially enjoyable on a crisp Indian Summer autumn afternoon. This recipe was one of three different mignonettes we offered and was by far the most popular! – Reviewed by Marilyn Slattery
