Oyster Chowder

Adapted from an internet recipe.
Sounds like a great chowder, and oysters are readily available at Tesco in the small containers.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups milk
  • 250 grams oyster meat, with liquid, (8 oz)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • cayenne pepper, to taste
  • ⅓ cup flour

Instructions
 

  • In a sauce pan, add the milk and scald, which means bring it just to a boil.
  • Strain the oysters and reserve the liquid. This is the type from Tesco I will use and I will verify the weight of each container and will update this with what I find out.
  • In another pot, melt the butter then add the onion and parsley and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, then add the Worcestershire sauce, season with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste.
  • Add the oyster liquid and stir constantly and bring to a simmer, stir in the flour and stir continuously to thicken the mixture.
  • When thickened, stir in the oysters and simmer until the edges curl, about 5 minutes, do not overcook the oysters.
  • When the milk is scalded, stir that into the chowder until well blended.
  • Serve with crackers or bread.

Notes

I will price this when I figure out how many containers of oysters I need, but reasonable to say this is low cost.
