Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh oysters with their liquid
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Drain the oysters, reserving their liquid, and set them aside. Strain the oyster liquid to remove any shell fragments.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the chopped onion and celery until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the reserved oyster liquid, coconut milk, vegetable broth, bay leaf, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gently add the oysters to the saucepan and heat just until the oysters begin to curl at the edges, about 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook.
Remove the bay leaf. Sprinkle the stew with chopped scallions and fresh parsley before serving.
Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy it hot with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
