Oyster Patties great as hors d'oeuvres
Oyster Patties recipe from La Bonne Cuisine Cookbook.
Can be used as an hors d'oeuvre if small patty shells are used.
Especially attractive in a chafing dish surrounded by patty shells.
This is a real favorite at New Orleans parties.
Oyster Patties
1/2 CUp butter
1 large onion chopped
4 ribs celery, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped

Add the oysters and cook until the oysters are curled. Add the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne. In another saucepan make a thick White Sauce.

I will be changing the look of my blog soon. Changing to a white background with black text. This will make printing out the recipes easier.
Next recipe in line is Artichoke squares. Probably my all time fav. These things are really good. I could make a meal of them.

can you explain what a "patty shell" is to us ignorant northerners. Saw your post on cheftalk cafe and followed the link. Nice blog. I will bookmark it and follow.
I am a caterer in New York City and we are always looking to do fun ethnic and exotic food, especially hors d'oeuvres.
I have fond memories of visiting New Orleans several times - a true culinary dream and part of the great american food heritage!
I think he might have meant oyster shells.
no! not oyster shell! A patty shell is a puff pastry shell, like a little tart..you can find them in the frozen pastry section
PEPPERIDGE FARMS MAKES A GREAT PATTY SHELL IN THE FROZEN FOOD SECTION (ALSO PHYLLO DOUGH) I MAKE THE OYSTER PATTIES EVERY THANKSGIVING FOR AN APPETIZER AND SERVE THEM WITH CHAMPAGNE/CHAMBORD COCKTAILS. YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN CHEAT ON THE WHITE SAUCE WITH KNORR'S NEWBURG SAUCE IN AN ENVELOPE.
