My wonderful aunt[she passed last year at 93 years of age; sharp as a tack right up to the end.] introduced me to these in the mid '80s or 90s. She gratiously gave me the recipe and I have made them often since esp. for CHRISTMAS TIME along with CHEX Mix. Be forewarned. they are addictive and you won't be able to stop munching on...

Provided by Donald Bellinger

Categories     Crackers

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 c cooking oil [we use corn or canola]
1 pkg hidden valley ranch dressing mix
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp dill weed
2 16oz. pkg small oyster crackers[the small ones dime size work better than the bigger ones nickle size]

Steps:

  • 1. Place first 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir and thoroughly combine with a wire whisk. Dump crackers into seasoning mixture. Stir until all crackers are coated.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. While oven is heating, spoon coated crackers into an even layer onto a large baking sheet that has raised sides all around.
  • 3. Place the baking sheet and crackers into preheated oven and bake for 1 hr. remove crackers from oven and cool. Store cooled crackers in airtight containers. I find that the large containers flavored popcorn comes in or the ones that butter cookies come in work great.

Provided by Molly Baz

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     One-Pot Meal     Seafood     Fish     Cod     Coconut     Leek     Potato     Celery     Coriander     Ginger     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Spring

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1½ lb. skinless, boneless cod or halibut fillets
2½ tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
5 Tbsp. ghee or unsalted butter, divided
2 medium leeks, white and pale green parts only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (3") piece ginger, peeled, cut into matchsticks
¾ tsp. ground turmeric
¾ tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. ground cardamom
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
12 oz. baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
2 (13.5-oz.) cans unsweetened coconut milk
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced, plus leaves for serving (optional)
1½ cups oyster crackers
1 tsp. paprika
2 limes, divided

Steps:

  • Season cod all over with 1½ tsp. salt; set aside. Heat 3 Tbsp. ghee in a medium Dutch oven over medium. Cook leeks, garlic, and ginger, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add turmeric, coriander, and cardamom and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chile, potatoes, coconut milk, 1 tsp. salt, and ¾ cup water; bring to a boil (still over medium). Immediately reduce heat so soup is at a bare simmer. Cover, leaving lid slightly askew, and cook until potatoes are barely fork-tender, 10-12 minutes.
  • Carefully nestle reserved fish into pot, spoon some broth over, and cover, leaving lid slightly askew. Cook at a bare simmer 4 minutes, then stir in celery. Cook until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 minutes. Taste chowder and season with more salt if needed.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. ghee in a small skillet over medium-low. Add crackers and stir well to coat. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add paprika; toss to evenly coat.
  • Slice 1 lime in half and squeeze juice into chowder. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Ladle into bowls, breaking fish into large pieces. Scatter celery leaves over chowder if using and top with crackers. Slice remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside.

HERB OYSTER CRACKERS



Herb Oyster Crackers image

My family and friends love this recipe.....Super Bowl Sunday or anytime.

Provided by Sandra Withum

Categories     Crackers

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pkg oyster crackers (12 oz. ea.)
1 pkg hidden valley ranch dressing mix (1 oz.)
1/2 tsp dried dill weed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
1 c butter flavored vegetable oil or popcorn oil

Steps:

  • 1. Place crackers in a large plastic bag. Season with dressing mix, dill weed, garlic powder and lemon pepper. Pour in the oil, close the bag and shake vigorously until crackers are covered with seasoning.
  • 2. Store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose the right crackers. Not all crackers are created equal. Some are too soft and will disintegrate in your soup, while others are too hard and will be difficult to chew. Look for a cracker that is sturdy enough to hold up to the soup, but not so hard that it's difficult to eat.
  • Don't overcrowd the soup. If you add too many crackers to your soup, they will become soggy and lose their flavor. Add crackers sparingly, and only add more if you need them.
  • Let the crackers soften slightly before eating. This will help them to absorb the flavor of the soup and become more flavorful.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. This will allow your guests to customize their soup to their own taste. Some popular toppings include grated cheese, chopped bacon, sliced green onions, and crumbled oyster crackers.
  • Store leftover soup properly. Soup with crackers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat it, reheat the soup over low heat until it's warmed through.

Conclusion:

Oyster crackers are a versatile and delicious addition to a variety of soups. They are easy to make, and they can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, creamy or brothy, oyster crackers are a great way to add flavor and texture. So next time you're making soup, be sure to add a handful of oyster crackers. You won't be disappointed.
