This has always been a favorite holiday dish in my
family. My boyfriend always gets kind of wild-eyed and
short of breath when I tell him I am planning on making
Daddy Link's Oyster Stuffing. No joke.
2 small yellow onions,
peeled and diced
1 head of celery
(leaves and ends discarded), diced
1 stick of butter
4 10 oz. containers of oysters
16 oz. bag of cubed stuffing
bread (Pepperidge farm or the like)
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 Tbsp. sage
1 tsp. seasoning salt
1 Tbsp. poultry seasoning
Melt
butter in a very large skillet over medium-low heat.
Add onions and celery. Sauté until onions just
begin to turn translucent, about 7 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile
drain and chop the oysters, reserving liquid.
Add
oysters and oyster liquid to the skillet. Bring to a
simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat.
In
a large bowl, combine oyster mixture, stuffing, chicken
broth, sage, poultry seasoning, pepper and seasoning
salt. Stir until well combined. Transfer oyster mixture
to a Pyrex dish and bake at 350° for 40 minutes.
Stir, if desired. Serve immediately.
