Stewed Oysters Recipe

By nerves about our palate placed,

She likewise judges of the taste.

Who would ask for her opinion

Between an _oyster_ and an onion?

DONNE.



Stew with a quart of oysters, and their liquor strained, a glass of

white wine, one anchovy bruised, seasoned with white pepper, salt, a

little mace, and a bunch of sweet herbs; let all stew gently an hour, or

three quarters. Pick out the bunch of herbs, and add a quarter pound of

fresh butter kneaded in a large tablespoonful of flour, and stew them

ten or twelve minutes.



Serve them garnished with bread sippets and cut lemon. They may be

stewed simply in their own liquor, seasoned with salt, pepper, and

grated nutmeg, and thickened with cream, flour, and butter.
