I wanted to keep my recipe to the bare basics. I know a lot of chowders call for diced potato. If you want to add this too then by all means chuck that potato right on in.
Seafood Chowder
Serves 4
1 onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 Cups fish stock
1/4 Cup plain flour
1 dozen scallops
100 g prawns/shrimp
100 g mussels
300 g Hoki fillets (or any white fleshed fish), diced
1 Cup cream
1 tsp chopped thyme
1 tsp chopped dill
1. Heat a dash of oil or butter in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Fry the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the fish stock and slowly whisk in the flour, making sure the broth is lump free. Bring to a simmer.
3. Add the seafood and cook for about 6 minutes (if the mussels are precooked, add these in the final minute or two).
4. Add the cream, thyme, and dill and stir until the chowder returns to a simmer and is thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of lemon juice if desired.
5. Serve with crusty bread.
Are you guys in Australia? I'm pretty sure we're in the middle of summer silly gooses? :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm in New Zealand, where it's the middle of winter :)
DeleteI'm like your Mama, a seafood chowder girl. I have to say though, sometimes ordering them can be disappointing, especially if they're stingy with the seafood or just use cheap, frozen stuff. That's why it's better to make it yourself.
ReplyDeleteYours looks delicious by the way.
Sometimes I add a little smoke like smoked fish. Adds an extra dimension of flavour.
Thanks! I will definitely try the smoky flavor. That sounds like a great addition :)
