From the July 2006 issue:
Noeline Fife’s “never fail” oyster soup:
Make a roux sauce or however you make a
white sauce. Place oysters and their liquid
in a separate saucepan. Have the roux base
boiling and then bring the oysters just to a
boiling point, add to soup and serve.
From the July 2006 issue:
In honour of this month’s Oban Globetrotter
article about Savannah, Georgia
(and because I notice that Ship to Shore
stocks buttermilk from time to time).
“Down-home” buttermilk fried chicken:
Cut four boneless skinless chicken breasts
into finger-size strips and place in bowl.
Pour enough buttermilk over to cover
them, then add generous amounts of
crushed garlic, a few dashes of Worcester
sauce, a sprinkle of Cajun spice (or dash of
Tabasco). Marinate for at least two hours
or overnight, stirring occasionally. Heat a
cm deep of oil in skillet until smoking hot.
Mix a couple cups of flour with two teaspoons
of baking powder. Dip chicken
pieces in flour then add to pan and turn
heat down a bit. Brown until crispy, each
side about 4-5 minutes. Place on paper
towel or newspaper to drain oil. Eat.
(Dipped in mayonnaise if you want to be
really piggy.)
From the March 2008 issue:
Dip for fried oysters
This quick tasty sauce nicely complements fried oysters: mix together: a
dollop of mayonnaise (lite Best Foods), tablespoon of chopped capers, and a
splash of malt vinegar.
