Direcciones
- Drain the oysters, reserving the liquor, and set aside. Measure the oyster liquor and add in the clam juice or possibly chicken stock to make 3/4 c. total. Set aside.
- In a large heavy saucepan or possibly Dutch oven, saute/fry the bacon over medium-high heat till about half cooked, 2 to 3 min. Add in the mushrooms, onion, celery, carrot and red pepper and reduce the heat to medium. Saute/fry the vegetable mix about 4 min, stirring often.
- Stir in the sherry and thyme, followed by the oyster liquor mix, Tabasco and potatoes. Raise the heat and bring to a boil and simmer till the potatoes are nearly tender, about 5 min.
- Stir the cornstarch into the half-and-half and whisk this mix into the gently boiling stew. Add in the oysters immediately. Heat just till the oysters get plump and their edges are ruffled, 1 to 2 min. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon into serving bowls and sprinkle with minced parsley. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: A centuries-old favorite recipe for oysters is the oyster stew; fresh oysters simply simmered in heavy cream, topped with a pat of butter and a sprinkle of parsley. Also delicious and decadent, but a little less rich, this oyster stew is chock-full of colorful fresh vegetables and red potatoes, making for a meal in itself.
