Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a large stockpot, combine the carrots, potatoes, onion, celery, and bouillon cubes.

02

Step
30 mins

Add enough water to cover the vegetables completely.

03

Step
3 mins

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Gently stir in the oysters with their liquor and the black pepper.

05

Step

Return to a gentle boil and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the edges of the oysters begin to curl. Reduce heat to low. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the evaporated milk and butter until the butter is completely melted and the stew is heated through. Do not boil.

07

Step

Season with sea salt and white pepper to taste before serving.

For an even richer flavor, consider using oyster liquor (the liquid from freshly shucked oysters) in place of some of the water. If using fresh oysters, shuck them yourself and strain the liquor through a fine-mesh sieve before adding it to the stew.
Do not overcook the oysters, as they will become tough and rubbery. They are done when their edges begin to curl.
For a smoother stew, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the vegetables before adding the oysters. Be careful not to over-blend.
Serve with crusty bread for dipping into the creamy broth.
