I'm so glad I made this for X-mas eve dinner this year! DELICIOUS! It took just minutes to throw together, but it tasted like it was slaved over. My family were raving about it, so thank you for a great meal Janic312! Cooking notes: I added 1 lb of oysters to the mix, and I doubled the recipe otherwise. It served 13 with about a cup of stew each - It was really rich.

I made this for Valentine dinner. I made the sauce the night before and served this in a puff pastry. Having this was like going to a 5 star restraunt. It was that good. Not hard at all to make with such a great outcome.
