Oyster Cornbread Stuffing recipe

Oyster stuffing is a classic in Louisiana, and it comes out really good! The oysters are silky and smooth, the sausage is sightly spicy and tender, while the cornbread provides a base of savory goodness. Serves 6.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups day-old cornbread
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 pound hot breakfast sausage
  • 1 small onion, chopped small
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped small
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 dozen, small shucked oysters, in their juices
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. In a large saute pan melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the sausage and cook until brown, about 8 minutes.

  3. Add the onion and celery, cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  4. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  5. Remove from heat and add the sage and parsley. Taste and season well with salt and pepper.

  6. Place the cornbread into a large bowl, add the sausage mixture and stir to combine.

  7. Add the oysters, eggs, and stock, stir to combine.

  8. Place the stuffing in a baking dish and bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until all the liquid is absorbed. If the top gets too brown cover loosely with foil.
