Oyster Patties
Ingredients:
*2 dozen fresh Oysters (reserve the liquor)
*24 Pastry Shells (the frozen ones work good, Fresh from your bakery is
gooder!)
*1/2 cup Crabmeat
*1/2 stick of Butter
*1/2 cup Chicken Broth
*one can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
*1/4 cup finely chopped Yellow Onion, Green Onion and Celery (each)
*1/2 tbsp minced Garlic
*one tbsp Flour
*2 tbsp Olive Oil
*sliced Pimento
*grated Parmesan
*seasonings: Salt, Black Pepper, White Pepper, Hot Sauce
In a skillet, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Add the onion,
celery and garlic to sauté. Stir-in the flour. Stir-in the mushroom
soup, broth, liquor, crab, and a dash of each seasoning. Simmer for a
about 30 minutes. Add a little more liquid if needed, but the sauce has
to be thick. Cut heat off and let settle and cool for a bit.
Lay-out your shells on a cooking pan. Place one fat ole oyster in each
pastry shell. Dash-on the hot sauce. Spoon the sauce on-top to fill the
shell. Top-off each patty with a little cheese and pimento.
Bake 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. Remove pan and let the patties
settle and cool for a bit.
You may have a little leftover sauce. Perfect with some Ritz crackers or
toasted slices of French bread.
