CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH OYSTERS



Cornbread Dressing with Oysters image

My father's dressing bakes separately from the turkey and is simply delicious. The secret is to prepare the corn bread first, let it cool and then crumble it to form the base for the rest of the ingredients. My father always added oysters to give the dressing a special flavor. -Nell Bass, Macon, Georgia

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 cup small-diced tasso ham (see Cook's Note)
5 cups 3/4-inch-cubed cornbread, dried overnight (see Cook's Note)
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 stalks celery, small diced
1 small leek, white and light green parts only, small diced
1 small yellow onion, small diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
24 fresh oysters, shucked and halved, plus 1/2 cup oyster liquor (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup unsalted chicken stock
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt 10 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and cook, infusing the butter with the ham flavor, about 5 minutes. Remove the ham to a large mixing bowl with the cornbread, leaving the butter in the skillet.
  • Add the garlic, celery, leeks, onions, sage and thyme to the skillet with the flavored butter. Sweat the vegetable mixture over medium heat, stirring as needed, until the vegetables are softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the wine and continue to cook over medium heat until the wine is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the oyster liquor and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let cool at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the oysters to the mixing bowl with the cornbread and ham. Pour the cooled vegetables into the mixing bowl and lightly mix together. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in the parsley and eggs (see Cook's Note).
  • Grease the inside of the same skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Transfer the cornbread mixture to the skillet, making sure it's evenly distributed throughout the skillet. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the top is nice and browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool before serving, about 10 minutes.

LUCY BUFFETT'S OYSTER DRESSING



Lucy Buffett's Oyster Dressing image

Lucy Buffett and her famous brother, Jimmy, grew up in Mobile, Ala., where seafood from the Gulf of Mexico is a key player in the culinary canon. Mr. Buffett went on to a giant career in music. His sister Lucy opened the freewheeling LuLu's restaurant in Gulf Shores, Ala. When they were children, oyster stuffing was always on the Thanksgiving table. And it still is. "Usually, it's all gone by the end of the day because the kids go back for thirds and fourths, just digging directly into the pan," she said. Ms. Buffett likes to use cornbread with a little sugar in it, often relying on a box mix. But any cornbread recipe will do. The best bread is an inexpensive white loaf from the grocery store that will break down into a smooth texture. The oysters don't have to be from the Gulf of Mexico, but fat Gulf oysters are best for conjuring the brackish low tides and sunsets of the Buffett family youth.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 tablespoons/1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, divided, plus more for baking dish

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 sprig sage plus 1 tablespoon thinly sliced sage leaves
1 sprig rosemary
1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 dozen small shucked oysters in their liquor (about 1 cup liquor)
4 large eggs, whisked
12 cups savory (not sweet) cornbread cut into 3/4" cubes, stale or toasted in a 300° oven until dry

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Combine broth, sage sprig, and rosemary sprig in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat and let stock steep until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through, 7-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a large bowl, leaving any rendered fat in pan.
  • Melt butter in skillet; add onions and celery and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add onion mixture, sliced sage, parsley, and thyme to bowl with sausage. Mix well; season with salt and pepper. Add oysters with liquor, reserved broth (sprigs removed), and eggs; toss to combine. Add cornbread; toss until well blended and cornbread absorbs most of liquid.
  • Spoon stuffing into a 3-quart baking dish. If any liquid remains in bowl, drizzle 1/4 to 1/2 cup over to moisten cornbread (amount varies depending on dryness of cornbread). Bake until browned and liquid is absorbed, 1 hour-1 hour 15 minutes, tenting with foil if top gets too dark.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cornbread for the best flavor and texture. If you have time, make your own cornbread from scratch.
  • If you don't have oysters, you can substitute shrimp, crab, or chicken.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, prepare it up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve the dressing hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Cornbread dressing with oysters is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it traditional or with a few modern twists, this dressing is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying side dish, give cornbread dressing with oysters a try. You won't be disappointed!
