We tried to follow Selena's advice and let the stew sit for 24 hours so that the flavors could meld... but that meant that we had to pull ourselves away from it for that long!

  • 2. Chop onion/celery and saute in a little butter until clear and tender.
  • 3. After potatoes are done, drain and add sauteed onions/celery to pot and add rest of the butter
  • 4. add milk (If you like lots of good tastiness add some cream too) and other seasonings to taste (the taste will be stronger the longer you wait before adding the oysters and serving).
  • 5. Add oyster liqour, but NOT oysters.
  • 6. Keep stirring, this is your stew and the longer it stews the better it tastes. If you are serving sooner, keep stirring so it will not settle. If you are serving later (up to 24 hrs.) put stew in fridge.

  • 8. Optional toppings to add after stew is in individual bowls: grated cheddar, oyster crackers, crushed up potato chips, more seasoning, or whatever you think tastes good.
