Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Chopped Green Onion
- 2 pints Half-and-Half
- Salt and Ground Black Pepper
- Fresh Oysters
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1 cup Finely Chopped Celery
- 1/2 cup Chopped Red Bell Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
- 2 dashes Louisana-style Hot Sauce
Directions
-
Over medium heat, begin to melt the butter in a large saucepan until it starts to produce foam.
-
In the heated butter, sauté the celery, onion, and red bell pepper until they soften, which should take approximately 10 minutes.
-
Incorporate the half-and-half and parsley into the vegetable mix, seasoning it with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Keep heating the mixture until it's on the verge of boiling, then incorporate the oysters and any accompanying can liquid into the stew, along with Louisiana-style hot sauce. Allow the mixture to reach a simmer and cook until the oysters start to curl at the edges, which should take an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Take the saucepan off the heat and let the stew rest for 5 minutes prior to serving.
