7. STUFFED OYSTERS. (Mussels.)
MEDIA DOLMA.
Ingredients:
Oysters in shell ............................................... 2 dozen.
Dry Onions ........................................... 1 for each oyster.
Rice ........................................................ 1/2 cupful.
Pistachio Nuts ...................................... 1/2 cupful, minced.
Cloves ................................................... 3 to 4 pieces.
Olive Oil ............................................. 3 tablespoonfuls.
Tomatoes .... 3 to 4, ripe (or 4 to 5 tablespoonfuls of canned tomatoes).
Parsley ........................................................ 1 bunch.
Salt and pepper, to taste.
Method:
Select large oysters in the shells, scrape and wash the shells well, and open
carefully without breaking them wholly apart, leaving each oyster attached to
one-half of the shell and the other half empty, ready for stuffing. Then prepare
the following mixture:
After you have taken the right number of onions, chop them all fine and fry in
olive oil until brown. To this add the rice, which must be well cleansed and
washed--the pistachio, the cloves and the parsley, also cut very fine. Season to
taste, mix well, and continue frying all together for fifteen to twenty minutes.
