    Oyster Dressing
    "here's the oyster dressing as served at Deanie's Seafood near West End. I'll see if i can't dig up my mama's recipe too."

    ingredients:
    * 4 oz butter (1 stick)
    * 2 cups onions, chopped
    * 1 cup celery, chopped
    * 1 cup green onions, thinly sliced
    * 1 and 1/2 tbl garlic, minced
    * 4 dozen oysters, chopped
    * 1/2 cup parsley, chopped (use fresh parsley)
    * 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
    * 1/2 cup peccorino romano cheese, grated
    * 3 cups coarse unseasoned bread crumbs (i used day-old biscuits cut in 1/4" cubes)
    *1 and 1/2 cups oyster liquor (or whatever is left from the oysters)
    * 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (toast them first for even more flavor)

    method:

    Melt the butter over medium heat. saute the onions, celery, green onions and garlic until tender, stirring frequently. gradually add the chopped oysters and cook about 4 minutes constantly stirring (just watch this thing thicken up!!). add the parsley; stir. lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. add the cheese and pepper; stir. remove from the heat and begin stirring in the bread crumbs a little at a time (thickens even more!!!). add the pecans and oyster liquor and stir. cover and let stand for 3-5 minutes. salt to taste.

    the dressing can be stuffed into the fowl of your choice, or it can be served as a side dish with seafood. to serve as a casserole, spoon the dressing into a buttered casserole dish, sprinkle with unseasoned bread crumbs, dot with butter and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. yield is 2 quarts or about 8 servings............i kid you not......this is the best !!!!
