This oyster stew can be transformed from a comforting one-pot meal to an elegant dish for guests when you top it with Caviar Toasts: Dollop toasted slices of baguette with 1 teaspoon sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon caviar and a sprinkle of herbs. Place each toast atop a steaming bowl of stew. Serve with a salad of butter lettuce, orange segments and red onion tossed with vinaigrette. This is from Diabetic Connect.

How To Make oyster stew

Step 1

Wipe out the pot. Add oil. Heat over medium heat. Add onion,celery,salt and pepper. Cook stirring often,until the vegetables start to soften and brown slightly,about 2 minutes. Pour in wine. Increase heat to medium high and cook,scraping up any browned bits,until the wine is evaporated,1-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add clam juice, 1 cup water and potatoes; cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer. Stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender,10-15 minutes. Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup water with flour until smooth and stir into the stew.
Step 3

Return to a simmer over medium high heat. Stirring constantly. Cook stirring until thickened. About 1 minute. Stir in oysters, cream and herbs. Return to a simmer and immediately remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes to finish cooking the oysters. Serve sprinkled with the reserved bacon.
