Another oyster dish from my Grandmother. My Mom and Sister adore this one. I personally love the Wild Rice and Oyster dish she fixed. This is delicious, give it a try!! Ingredients:
mabel’s oyster casserole |
1 cup coarsely crumbled saltine cracker crumbs |
1 quart shucked fresh oysters (30-40, depending on size) |
(2- 6 ounce containers if fresh oysters are unavailable) |
1/4 cup chopped scallions |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice |
salt to taste |
1/2 tsp. black pepper |
1 tsp. worcestershire sauce |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup light cream |
1/2 cup milk |
dash of tabasco sauce (optional) |
paprika for dusting |
preheat over to 400 degrees. |
Directions:
1. Preheat over to 400 degrees. 2. Drain oysters well. 3. Generously grease a shallow 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. 4. Sprinkle half of the cracker crumbs over the bottom. 5. Lay half of the oysters on top of the crumbs, 6. then sprinkle with half of the onions, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. 7. Dot generously with butter and pour on half of the cream and milk. Repeat layers but save the remaining crumbs for the top. 8. Add a dash of Tabasco if desired before covering with the crumbs. Dust the top with paprika, using enough to make it really red. 9. Bake for 35 minutes. Serve hot. 10. Makes 6 servings. |
