My new Squidoo friend, Dianne, shared one of her favorite oyster recipes with me:
OYSTER STEW
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash hot sauce
1 pint shucked oysters not drained
1/4 cup butter
1 quart milk, scalded
Blend flour, seasonings and 2 tablespoons water in a 3 quart soup kettle.
Add undrained oysters and butter. Simmer over very low heat 3 to 4
minutes till edges of oysters curl, stirring gently. Add hot milk;
remove from heat and cover. Let stand 15 minutes. Reheat briefly. Top
each serving with a pat of butter. Serves 4 or 5.
For those who don't like whole oysters but like the flavor, whirl the oysters in the blender before adding to the stew.
Once you try this recipe, let me know what you think.
