OYSTER DRESSING



Oyster Dressing image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk, plus more if needed
2 eggs
1 cup canned creamed corn
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
5 ounces oyster crackers, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 pint small oysters with liquor
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • The day before making the stuffing, bake the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven. In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk to combine well. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs and creamed corn, whisking to combine thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir to combine. If the batter will not pour, add more buttermilk.
  • Swirl the vegetable oil in the hot cast-iron skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet and bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back upon the touch, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the skillet, then crumble 6 cups of the cornbread and spread out on a baking sheet. Let the cornbread dry out at room temperature, uncovered, about 24 hours.
  • Make the stuffing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion and celery are semitranslucent, about 15 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat; add the crumbled cornbread, oyster crackers, thyme and sage and stir well. Next, add the oysters with their liquor and the eggs; stir until combined. Pat the mixture down into an even layer.
  • Put the skillet on the middle rack of the oven and bake until golden brown and crisp around the edges, about 30 to 35 minutes.

OYSTER DRESSING



Oyster Dressing image

Oyster Dressing has become a Thanksgiving and Christmas tradition in our family. I think this recipe is similar to the one in the Betty Crocker (old cookbook all our moms had) and listed as Scalloped Oysters. From the kitchen of Ty Thornburg, Fairview TN.

Provided by Tona C.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 casserole, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces canned whole oysters, drain and reserve the liquid
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
salt and pepper
3/4 cup milk (or light cream or Half & Half)
3 cups soda crackers, crumbled
1/2 cup white wine (mix with other liquids)
1/2 cup beer (mix with other liquids)
1 1/2 cups crumbled biscuits (mix with cracker crumbs)
season salt

Steps:

  • In a greased casserole pan, place a layer of crumbled crackers, then a layer of oysters (drained but save the liquid), dot with butter and season with salt, pepper or seasoned salt. Repeat layers as desired or based on pan size. For a 9x9 or 9x13 it varies. Usually 3-5 cans of oysters are needed.
  • Mom used to include some Ritz crackers but it isn't required. Nothing is exact about the recipe, I just build it in layers until it looks right. Quantities depend on the pan.
  • Once you have the layers done, (the top layer should be crushed crackers dotted with butter) pour the oyster liquid and milk/cream back on the creation to moisten. Usually it is a 50/50 mix. I have added some white wine and/or beer (up to ½ cup each). The key is to make sure all the crackers are moist/soggy. You don't want any dry pockets. I usually let it set, covered, in the fridge for a few hours while the other stuff is being prepared. Then you bake at 425 degrees until brown/done (45 min or longer depending on oven).

THE VERY BEST FAMILY-STYLE OYSTER DRESSING



The Very Best Family-Style Oyster Dressing image

A moist but extremely tasty dressing with oysters starring the lead role. My family has to have it every year! Serve with turkey and giblet gravy.

Provided by gg810

Categories     Side Dish     Stuffing and Dressing Recipes     Oyster Stuffing and Dressing

Time 3h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (8.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix
1 egg
⅓ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) box buttermilk biscuit mix
½ cup water
½ cup unsalted butter, divided
1 onion, chopped
1 cup chicken livers, rinsed and trimmed
1 (14 ounce) package dry herb-seasoned stuffing mix
1 ½ cups water
1 (12 ounce) jar turkey gravy
2 cups turkey broth, or as desired
1 teaspoon crumbled dried sage
1 tablespoon crushed dried thyme leaves
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups shucked oysters with their liquor

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 8 muffin cups.
  • In a bowl, beat the corn muffin mix, egg, and milk together until moistened; batter will be slightly lumpy. Allow the batter to rest 3 to 4 minutes, stir again, and spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them halfway.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins have risen and are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean. Remove the muffins, let cool, and coarsely crumble the muffins into a very large bowl.
  • Increase the oven heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Place the biscuit mix into a bowl, and lightly stir in 1/2 cup of water to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, and gently knead 2 or 3 times; pat the dough out 1/2-inch thick. With a 2-inch floured cutter, cut the biscuit dough into rounds, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake the biscuits in the 450-degree oven until lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove biscuits, allow to cool on a rack, and coarsely crumble the biscuits in the bowl with the muffin crumbs.
  • Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); grease an 11x15-inch baking dish.
  • Melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in a large skillet; cook and stir the onion and chicken livers in the butter until the onion is translucent and the chicken livers are no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Press a fork into the chicken livers to mash them as they cook. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Place the herb stuffing mix into the large bowl with the crumbs. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter with 1 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat. If stuffing mix comes with a separate packet of herbs, empty the herb packet into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the mixture over the dry stuffing mix and crumbs.
  • Pour in the turkey gravy and mix in the cooked chicken livers with onions and butter. With a large wooden spoon, begin stirring in turkey broth until the stuffing is moist but not soggy. Stir in sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper, and lightly spoon the dressing into the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; remove from oven, and gently stir in the oysters and their juices. Cook for an additional 15 minutes. If you need to hold the stuffing for a short while, cook for 10 minutes after stirring in oysters, remove from oven, cover the dish with aluminum foil, and serve as soon as possible.

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.

Tips for Making the Best Oyster Dressing:

  • Use fresh oysters. Fresh oysters have a briny, sweet flavor that is essential for a great oyster dressing. If you can't find fresh oysters, you can use frozen oysters, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the oysters finely. This will help the oysters distribute evenly throughout the dressing.
  • Use a good quality bread. A good quality bread will absorb the flavors of the oysters and the other ingredients in the dressing. A good option is to use a French bread or a sourdough bread.
  • Toast the bread before using it. This will help the bread absorb the flavors of the other ingredients in the dressing and give it a nice crispy texture.
  • Use a flavorful broth. A good quality broth will add a lot of flavor to the dressing. A good option is to use a chicken broth or a seafood broth.
  • Season the dressing to taste. Be sure to taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the dressing hot. Oyster dressing is best served hot, so be sure to reheat it before serving if you have made it ahead of time.
