Yield: 4 -8
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
¼ cup | BUTTER |
½ cup | Sliced celery |
¼ | Chopped onion |
2 | Cloves garlic; minced |
2 cups | Oysters; drained (high-quality canned will do) |
2 cups | Whole milk |
½ cup | Heavy cream |
½ teaspoon | Salt |
¼ teaspoon | Pepper |
Freshly-snipped parsley; or a little dried (crushed in fingers) | |
½ cup | Dry sherry |
In a large saucepan, saute the celery, onion, and garlic in the butter, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the drained oysters, the milk, the cream, the salt and pepper - heat just until small bubbles appear around the ediges (DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL, OR IT WILL SEPARATE). Stir in a bit of parsley (really just for color - don't add too much!) and sherry. Serve immediately.
