HOLIDAY OYSTER STEW WITH
VEGETABLES
 
1/2 of 16 oz. pkg. frozen mixed broccoli, cauliflower & carrots (about 2 c.)
1 sm. onion, cut into thin wedges
1/2 tsp. instant chicken bouillon granules
1/8 tsp. white pepper
1 bay leaf
2 (12 oz.) cans (3 1/3 c. total) evaporated skim milk
1 pt. shucked oysters or 2 (8 oz.) cans whole oysters

Cut up any large vegetables. In a 3 quart saucepan combine vegetables, onions, bouillon granules, pepper, bay leaf and 1/2 cup water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Do not drain. Stir in evaporated milk; heat through. Add undrained oysters to vegetable mixture. Cover over medium heat about 5 minutes or until edges of oysters curl, stirring frequently. (If using canned oysters, just heat through.) Remove bay leaf. Makes 6 servings.

Microwave Directions: Cut up any large vegetables. In a 2 quart microwave safe casserole combine vegetables, bouillon granules, pepper, bay leaf and 1/2 cup water. Microcook covered on 100% power (high) for 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring once. Do not drain. Stir in evaporated milk. Cook on high for 4-6 minutes more or until heated through, stirring once. Add undrained oysters. Cook on high for 4-5 minutes or until oysters begin to curl around edges, stirring once. (If using canned oysters cook 1 minute on high or until heated through, stirring once.) Remove bay leaf.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
