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
1 (8-inch-square) baked and cooled cornbread, preferably on the sweet side
15 slices white or wheat bread, toasted and cooled
1/2 large white onion, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1/2 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth, plus more as needed
2 dozen freshly shucked or jarred oysters, preferably Gulf oysters, drained and coarsely chopped (reserve the oyster liquor)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon hot sauce, preferably Crystal
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped, or 1 teaspoon ground sage
1 1/2 teaspoons truffle salt or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by 13-inch baking dish.
  • Crumble cornbread into a large bowl. Tear toasted white or wheat bread into very small pieces, add to cornbread, and toss to combine
  • Melt 8 tablespoons butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion, celery and bell pepper; sauté, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Cover pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are almost translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove cover, add broth, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue to cook mixture for 1 more minute, then remove from heat, add to bread mixture, and stir to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together oysters, lemon juice, hot sauce, parsley, sage, salt and white pepper. Add to bread mixture and stir well to combine. If dressing seems too dry, add a little oyster liquor and up to 1/2 cup more chicken broth; mixture should be very moist.
  • Pour dressing into greased baking dish. Cut remaining 4 tablespoons butter into small pieces and scatter over top of dressing. Bake until top and sides are browned, 40 to 45 minutes.

BAKED OYSTER DRESSING



Baked Oyster Dressing image

This recipe for baked oyster dressing is from chef Emeril Lagasse's "Louisiana Real and Rustic."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 cups shucked oysters, including their liquor
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon very finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped scallions
4 cups 1-inch cubes French bread
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-by-11-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Drain oysters, reserving liquor; set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, celery, salt, Emeril's Essence, and cayenne; cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add bay leaves, garlic, and parsley; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine vegetable mixture with oysters and their liquor, scallions, bread, and cheese. Stir until well combined. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and bake until golden brown and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oysters. Fresh oysters have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for dressing. If you can't find fresh oysters, you can use frozen oysters, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the oysters. Oysters are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Use a variety of bread. You can use any type of bread you like for oyster dressing, but a combination of white and cornbread is a classic choice. Be sure to use dry bread so that it will absorb the other ingredients.
  • Add aromatics. Aromatics, such as onions, celery, and garlic, add flavor to oyster dressing. Be sure to sauté them in butter until they are softened before adding them to the dressing.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use for oyster dressing is important. A good choice is chicken broth or seafood broth. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Season the dressing to taste. Be sure to taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Oyster dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a side dish that is sure to impress, give oyster dressing a try.
