Osterhlafas (Oyster loaf)

Buy Me A Coffee

Ingredients:

  • 1 large loaf of bread

  • Large knob of butter

  • 1/2 cup of white wine

  • 1/2 a cup of water

  • 12 Oysters (cleaned and shucked)

  • 1/2 cup beef (cut into small pieces)

  • 1 tablespoon of suet

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 2 tsp Parsley

  • Salt & Pepper

Method:

Cut a ‘lid’ from the top of the loaf and scoop out the insides of the loaf, to make a bowl. Retain half the bread filling and break into small pieces.

Melt the butter in a pan and add the bread pieces, along with the wine and the water. Heat gently while squashing the bread pieces with a spoon to further break them up.

Bring to a simmer and add the beef and suet. Simmer for around 5 minutes. Add the oysters (including their liquid) and simmer for a few minutes.

Stir in the egg yolks, parsley and season with salt & pepper.

Pour the mixture into the hollow loaf and pop the bread ‘lid’ back on.

Put the loaves into a pre heated oven at 160 degrees Celsius, and bake for around 20 -25 minutes, until the filling has set.

Serve by slicing into think cuts.
