Oyster Stew Recipe
Oyster Stew
This traditional Canadian east coast and New England treat is as rich as a stew, but it's really a soup. Serve with little oyster crackers.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced shallot
- Half clove garlic, minced
- 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) 18% cream
- Pinch each white pepper and nutmeg
- 12 to 18 shucked oysters with juices
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped chives
Preparation
In saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat; cook shallot and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Add cream, pepper and nutmeg; bring to low simmer.
Add oysters and juices; reduce heat to low. Cook, without simmering, until edges of oysters curl, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to bowls and sprinkle with chives.
Makes 4 servings.
