OYSTERS WITH CHAMPAGNE-VINEGAR MIGNONETTE

Steps:

• Make mignonette
• Stir together the vinegar, shallot, pepper, and sugar and let stand 30 minutes.
• Make oysters
• Preheat the broiler. Spread 3/4 cup kosher salt in an 8- to 10-inch shallow flameproof baking dish or pan. Arrange the oysters in their shells atop the salt, then top each with a piece of butter.
• Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat until the butter is melted and sizzling and the edges of the oysters are beginning to curl, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir the parsley into the mignonette. Divide the remaining 3/4 cup kosher salt between two plates and arrange 3 oysters on each. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon mignonette over each oyster and sprinkle oysters with grapes. Serve warm.
