Oyster cornbread stuffing

Description

A rectangular clear glass baking dish filled with oyster cornbread stuffing straight from the oven, photographed at a three-quarter angle on a grey stone board over white painted wood. The surface is a coarse, craggy crumb in shades of pale gold and deep amber, with darker caramelised ridges where the top has crisped; diced red pepper, softened celery and onion, chopped parsley and the dark-edged curls of cooked oysters show through the crust. A long-handled white and stainless steel serving spoon rests in the dish, already lifting one corner of the stuffing. Two open oyster shells and a lemon wedge sit at the top left of the frame and a sprig of curly parsley at the right, signalling the shellfish base and the citrus served with it.
