Preparation
In a large saucepan, melt butter on medium-high heat. Cook shallots and garlic for 2 min.
Add squash and curry paste; cook 2 more min.
Pour broth into saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for 5–7 min or until squash begins to soften.
Add chard and stir; cook for 2–3 min.
Add oysters and cook 3 more min.
Mix cheese with cornstarch. Sprinkle over mixture in saucepan while stirring. Let cheese melt and sauce thicken. Add a little cornstarch mixed with cold water if sauce is not thick enough, as the quantity of oyster juice may vary.
Season with pepper, top with more cheese, if desired, and serve.
Tips
Cooking tip: When shucking oysters, hold the curved side of the shell down to retain all the juice, which will add delicious flavour to the sauce.
Cheese alternatives: Canadian Provolone, Gouda, Aged Cheddar.
