How to make Oysters with Champagne-Vinegar Mignonette

Stir together vinegar, shallot, pepper, and sugar and let stand 30 minutes.

Preheat grill.

Spread 110g salt in an 8- to 10-inch flameproof shallow baking dish or pan. Arrange oysters on their shells in salt, then top each with a piece of butter.

Grill 4 to 6 inches from heat until butter is melted and sizzling and edges of oysters are beginning to curl, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir parsley into mignonnette. Divide remaining 110g salt between 2 plates and arrange 3 oysters on each. Spoon 1/4 teaspoons mignonnette over each oyster and sprinkle oysters with grapes. Serve warm.
