Ingredients

For the ragout

Instructions

  1. Begin by boiling the shank in 4 quarts of salted water until tender.
  2. Stir in the okra, tomatoes, onion, sugar, salt, and pepper.

🍅 Tip: Cooking this mixture slowly for about 5 hours allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Don't forget to add extra water as necessary to keep it from getting too thick!

  1. Once cooked, preserve your ragout in the refrigerator, where it will keep well for about 2 weeks for those days when you need a quick dish.

Final Steps

  1. Parboil the oysters and set them aside.
  2. In a separate pan, create a sauce using cream, flour, and butter until smooth and thickened.
  3. Add the seasonings, followed by the shrimp, mushrooms, chicken, oysters, sherry, and parsley.

🍽️ Serving Suggestion: If you want to elevate your dish, consider garnishing with additional chopped parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for color and flavor!

  1. Simmer everything together for several minutes, allowing the ingredients to blend harmoniously.

  2. Serve the ragout hot, paired with rice or your favorite bread.
