OYSTER & MUSHROOM STEW
[FONT=&quot]Ingredients

5 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 pint oysters with their liquor, jarred or freshly shucked, about 2 dozen*
1/2 pound mushrooms, wiped clean, stems trimmed or removed, and roughly
chopped
1/4 cup flour
2 celery stalks, minced
1 medium yellow or white onion, minced
1 3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cream (can use all milk if you want)
Splash of Tabasco, Crystal, or other hot sauce
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup parsley, minced

the oyster juice through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl to remove any grit.
Reserve the juices. Rinse the oysters well, under cold water. Put them in a
bowl.

Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to make a
roux. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture for a few minutes,
stirring often.

When the roux turns the color of coffee-with-cream, stir in the celery and
onions. Increase the heat to medium and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring
frequently.

Add the mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes

Add the oyster juice and any juices the oysters in the bowl have released.
The flour in the roux will absorb the liquid and turn into a paste. Slowly
add the milk and cream, stirring to incorporate as you pour them in. Add a
healthy splash or two of hot sauce, to taste.

Heat the soup to steamy, but below a simmer, over low heat, cook for 15
minutes. (Do not let the soup boil!)

If you are working with large oysters, you may want to chop them into
bite-sized pieces. Add the oysters and cook for another 2 minutes, or until
the edges of the oysters just begin to curl.

Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh
chopped parsley to serve.[/FONT]

Wasn't crazy about it.......... but then again, I'm not crazy about Cream of Mushroom anyway ; Haven't had either (Oyster or Mushroom) in years, so when I saw this, figgered it's been long enough...

But that's just me........ I posted because someone else might like it


One deviation I made; My celery didn't look too good, to long in the fridge, so I subbed a couple of Broccoli florets....
and I didn't have any Parsley for garnish..........
