Oyster Stew
We’ve enjoyed this recipe from allrecipes.com a couple of times in the last week or 2. The fish shop on 4th has 8 oz tubs of fresh, Fanny Bay oysters at the moment. So we’re shorting on the oysters (recipe scaled to 2 people), but what oysters - 8 oz = 8 big, juicy monsters.
I make the recipe pretty much as written, perhaps a bit light on the cayenne in deference to Susan’s tender taste buds. Then I touch up my bowl with a few drops of Tabasco, and perhaps a grind of Szechuan pepper.
We’ve been pairing the stew with baguette, salad capresse, and a Chilean caremiere wine. Ahh, the deliciousness of simple foods.
