As
always,
we
had
an
excellent
time
on
New
Day
CLE
this
morning!
For
those
of
you
looking
for
our
Oyster
Dressing
Recipe
that
was
featured
on
the
show,
here
it
is!
Pre
heat
the
oven
to
350
degrees.
Put the oysters in a strainer over a bowl to catch the liquor. Reserve ¾ cup of liquor and set both aside.
In a large sauté pan, melt ½ cup of butter over medium heat. Sauté the bacon until cooked and then add the shallots, celery or fennel, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until soft- about 10 minutes.
While cooking the herb mixture, rough chop the oysters then place them in a large bowl along with the cornbread crumbles. Mix well.
Finish the herb mixture by adding the reserved oyster liquor, vermouth, parsley and thyme. Bring to a quick boil. Then transfer to the large bowl containing the oysters and cornbread. Stir to combine and set aside for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cornbread mixture to a buttered gratin dish, dot with remaining butter and bake until golden brown and crusty. Approximately 40-45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
