Dear Dee,
If you have 20 hungry men (and like the loaves and fishes-as well as wimen an chil’ren) to feed, I suggest you put the money you would spend on them on a ticket to Saint Louis, leave a note that they should cook for themselves for a change, and come eat oyster dressing with me.

Duck Fat-buy a (even frozen) duck, boil it, and skim the fat off the top; or roast it, and save the fat.

Re multiplying this recipe: I would cut back the bread, double the oysters-a pint?-use a seafood (even fish) stock, but less; then multiply by 4 or 5. Recipes that are not clear on how many they feed should be banned!

will be thinking of you!
Will

Hi,
Where can you buy duck fat from? Also, how many truly hungry New Orleans men will this feed, LOL. If I had to feed a family of 20 how many batches would you suggest? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a great holiday season! Dee

I am going to try this recipe this week and hope it stacks up against my mothers handed down recipe…it sounds very
similar to hers. Wish me luck!

My local Kroger had turkey on sale at a great price, I haven’t had oyster stuffing since the day I fled New Orleans 2 days before Katrina, and I’m really looking forward to this as part of Wednesday night’s dinner.
Thank you!

I think I’m in love.

(I’m growing lemon grass. From a cutting bought at the supermarket, no less. I wonder how that might go with oysters. I’m interested in finding out and will report back.)

My family isn’t fond of Ersters either Tim, got to slip these little feasts of fancy in when we can. I’m all in favor of sneaking them in too, the flavor is so delicate that they will probably never know the difference.

Hi Laurie, between the little one and work, there hasn’t been much time for Nola Cuisine, I’m working on that now! More recipes to come.

This sound so delicious… it’s too bad the heathens that live in my house don’t like oysters. I think oyster dressing is the most flavorful and just thinking about it makes me look forward to Thanksgiving.

I may have to make it one day and just not say anything about the bivalves.
