Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 10

Ingredients

1 stick butter
8 green onions, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound white button mushrooms, ends trimmed and halved
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt plus additional to taste
3 dozen fresh oysters, shucked
1/2 cup dry vermouth
Tabasco or other hot sauce to taste

Preparation

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions and mushrooms. Sprinkle with garlic salt and cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to become soft, about 3 minutes. Add the oysters and continue to cook until they begin to curl around the edge, about 3 minutes. Add the vermouth and boil for 1 to 2 minutes, until a sauce forms. Spoon oysters, onions, and mushrooms onto Triscuit or Finn Crisp crackers. Garnish each cracker with a drop or more of hot sauce and sprinkle with more garlic salt if desired.
