1 cup onion, small diced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced

3/4 cup smoked bacon diced, cooked
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 teaspoons Old Bay/cajun spice
6 oz. dry white wine

Place cleaned, shucked oysters in shell on top of stewing vegetables. Cover with lid and place in 400 degree oven. Cook for 3 minutes or until edges of oysters curl. Remove from oven. Place 3 to 4 (appetizer portion) oysters on each plate. Bring stew to simmer; adjust seasoning and toss in cilantro. Spoon stew over oysters on plate and serve immediately. Serves 8
