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:
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large saute pan melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the sausage and cook until brown, about 8 minutes.
Add the onion and celery, cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the sage and parsley. Taste and season well with salt and pepper.
Place the cornbread into a large bowl, add the sausage mixture and stir to combine.
Add the oysters, eggs, and stock, stir to combine.
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.
