Soul Food

According to Jonathan Swift, “He was a bold man that first ate an oyster”.  Although they might have an odd appearance, shucked oysters can be a delicious ingredient in a variety of dishes.  This recipe for oyster stew will make even the most timid eater into a true oyster fan!  

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

1 cup minced celery

3 tablespoons minced shallots

1 quart half-and-half cream

2 (8oz) containers of fresh shucked oysters, undrained

salt and black pepper to taste

1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Directions:

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add the celery and shallots and cook until vegetables are tender.  Add half-and-half, stirring continuously.  When the mixture is almost boiling, pour the oysters and their liquid into the pot.  Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne.  Stir continuously until the oysters curl at the ends.  When the oysters curl, the stew is ready.  We suggest that you serve this stew with fresh baked bread from Serious Delights bakery.  Enjoy!
