Oyster Rockefeller (Rockerfeller) Dip




Ingredients:


  • 1 can chopped spinach

  • 6 oysters chopped fine

  • 3 medium onions chopped fine or grated

  • 1 bell pepper finely chopped or grated

  • 1 tbsp flour

  • ¼ block of butter 1/4 pound

  • seasonings to taste

Directions:
Original recipe says to cook flour in butter but not to burn it. However, I usually make a roux as I think it gives it a better flavor.

Add onions, bell pepper and seasonings to the roux. Saute about 30 minutes or until tender. Add spinach and oysters. Simmer an additonal 30 minutes. If you prefer more of an oyster taste add some of the oyster juice.

Enjoy with your favorite cracker.
