Oyster Stuffing

Print Recipe
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound homemade white bread cut into 1/2 inch squares
  • 0.375 cup parsley finely chopped
  • 0.5 tablespoon lemon peel finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.25 pound butter
  • 2 cups onion finely chopped
  • 1.75 cups celery finely chopped
  • 1 pint oysters
  • 1 egg lightly beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°.
  • Combine the bread, chopped parsley, lemon peel, sage, 1 tablespoon of salt and the pepper in a large deep bowl and toss with a spoon until well mixed.
  • In a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet, melt the butter bits over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside, add the chopped onions. Stirring frequently, cook for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent but not brown.
  • Stir in the celery and cook for a minute or so; then, with a rubber spatula, scrape the entire contents of the skillet into the bread mixture.
  • Add the oysters and egg and stir the ingredients gently but thoroughly together. Taste the oyster stuffing for seasoning.
  • Bake until hot throughout and crusty on top.
