• In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it starts to sizzle. Add the onion, celery, artichoke hearts, and garlic and stir.

OYSTER STEW WITH ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large, heavy saucepan. Add shallots and saute slowly until tender but not brown. Drain the oysters, reserving the liquor and add them to pan, tossing briefly in the butter. Add the artichokes and toss in the butter as well.
• Add three-fourths cup of the oyster liquor, the milk, cream, salt, Worcestershire sauce, vermouth and pepper. Cook very gently, barely at a simmer, about 20 minutes, just until the oysters have curled around the edges and are beginning to float.
• Check seasonings, ladle into warm bowls and dust each serving with paprika. Serve with oyster crackers or toast.
