Hearty New England Oyster Chowder With Rivels
- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 16
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 12 -16 ounces oysters
- 1⁄2 cup onion, diced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups potatoes, cubed
- 5 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons parsley
- 2 teaspoons basil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons flour (optional)
- 1⁄2 cup milk (optional)
-
Rivels
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 3⁄4 - 1 cup flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 teaspoon parsley
directions
- In a stock pot saute onions in butter. Add oysters and saute for additional 3 - 4 minutes. Add milk, potatoes, parsley, basil, salt and pepper.
- As chowder is cooking, make rivels. Beat together egg, milk, salt, pepper and parsley. Add enough flour to form a soft dough. Bring chowder to a slow boil and drop small bits of dough into the chowder, stirring occasionally. (I use two small spoons, one to scoop up a little dough and the other to scrape the dough off the spoon into the chowder.) These will turn into little dumplings otherwise known as rivels.
- Simmer until potatoes are cooked through. If you wish to thicken the chowder, mix 3 tablespoons flour with 1/3 cup milk to make a smooth paste. Slowly add a little bit at a time to chowder stirring constantly until chowder thickens.

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
