Oyster Pie


Ingredients

4 doz. oysters with liquor
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bunch green onions, fine chop
2 tablespoon chopped celery
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 cup cooked, chopped chicken
1 leftovers are best.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 - 9" double crust pie shell

Make roux of flour and oil until dark brown. Add green onions, saute 3 min. only, stirring constantly. All at once, add oysters, oyster liquid and the chopped chicken (or turkey). Bring to medium boil, cook until ingredients thicken heavily, about 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour into bottom crust and cover with top crust. Slit top crust to prevent blistering, and brush with milk or 1 egg beaten with 1 tbs. of water. Bake at 425 F. until crust is golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature. Most people prefer room temperature.
