This traditional Canadian east coast and New England treat is as rich as a stew, but it's really a soup. Serve with little oyster crackers.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  butter
  • 1 tbsp  (15 mL)  minced shallot
  • Half clove garlic, minced
  • 1-1/2 cups  (375 mL)  18% cream
  • Pinch each white pepper and nutmeg
  • 12 to 18 shucked oysters with juices
  • 1 tbsp  (15 mL)  chopped chives

Preparation

In saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat; cook shallot and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Add cream, pepper and nutmeg; bring to low simmer.

Add oysters and juices; reduce heat to low. Cook, without simmering, until edges of oysters curl, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to bowls and sprinkle with chives.

Makes 4 servings.
