Ingredients:
- 2 slices bacon, diced
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 tablespoons Wondra Flour (or other fine white flour)
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- Several dashes of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 16 ounces fresh oysters with their liquor
Instructions:
-
Cook Bacon: In a non-stick soup pot, sauté diced bacon over low heat until it’s rendered and crispy.
-
Add Butter: Add butter to the pot and heat until melted.
-
Sauté Vegetables: Stir in onions, celery, and minced garlic. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are translucent, taking care not to let them brown.
-
Season and Make Roux: Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme. Sprinkle Wondra Flour over the mixture and whisk steadily to create a roux. Cook while whisking steadily for several minutes.
-
Add Liquids: Slowly whisk in clam juice, ensuring it blends smoothly with the roux. Follow with dry sherry, whisking until smooth.
-
Incorporate Cream and Milk: Gradually whisk in heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then whisk in evaporated milk until well combined.
-
Thicken the Stew: Increase the heat slightly and stir continuously until the mixture just begins to boil. Lower the heat and continue whisking until the stew slightly thickens, about 5 minutes.
-
Add Oysters and Seasonings: Stir in fresh oysters with their liquor, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped parsley. Continue heating the stew, stirring occasionally, until the oysters curl at the edges, indicating they are heated through.
-
Serve: Ladle the Oyster Stew Supreme into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley if desired.
