CREAMY SOUTHERN SEAFOOD OR FISH CHOWDER

Steps:

• Cook ham hock, bacon or salt pork until some fat is rendered, and then remove meat. Salt pork is more traditionally New England, but I just wanted a little smokey pork fat in my dish so I went with the ham hock.
• Pour off as much fat as you like and add butter or olive oil.
• In large pot add stock, milk, ham hock, bay leaves, pepper, thyme, Old Bay, salt and diced potatoes and bring to a simmer. If using bacon or salt pork, you can wait to add until the end.
• Sprinkle flour over butter and mix until light yellow (blonde) in color and flour is lightly cooked.
• Add onions, carrots and celery to roux and cook down for about 15 minutes until onions have lost a lot of their water and carrots are soft. The mixture should be quite thick, and will need to be stirred frequently at medium high heat.
• Add garlic to onion mixture and cook for a few more minutes.
• Once potatoes are starting to soften, but are not yet done, add onion and carrot mixture and stir.
• Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat to medium to simmer. At this point of the mixture looks too thick you can add some more vegetable stock. I like to taste at this point to adjust salt etc. as well.
• Mix in corn and cook until corn is warmed.
• Add seafood mixture to pot and mix in lightly.
• Add cream and cheese and mix in until just smooth.
• At this point turn the pot to low or medium low, and as soon as the seafood is cooked it's ready to eat.
• This is definitely better the next day or after it's sat for a while, so you can leave it on a very low heat for a few hours or stick it in the fridge and reheat on the stove slowly the next day.
• You can remove the ham hock, or pull some of the meat off of it and add it inches.
• Serving it up with some crusty bread was perfect!

• Melt butter in a large sauce pan. Add onion and celery and cook until onion is tender and translucent.

• Cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
• Cut fish fillets into bite size pieces and add, with corn, to pot. Cook for 25 minutes.
• Add half and half to pot and heat. Add roux until desired thickness. Stir carefully so not to mush fish. I found a roux of 2 tbsp each of flour and butter was good for me.
• Serve with crispy bread or crackers.

CREAMY FISH CHOWDER

CREAMY FISH SOUP (CHOWDER)

Steps:

• 1. Wash, peel and chop/cut all vegetables. I usually cut it all in nice little cubes. Keep the potatoes and the tomatoes aside but the rest of the veggies you could just chop and mix together as they are getting chopped - they will all go in together at once.
• 2. Place a pot over medium heat. Add the stock with all the finely or roughly chopped vegetables (onion, carrot, parsnip, courgette, red pepper and celery). Add some salt and tiny pepper (one grind or two). How you cut/chop the vegetables, again, it really depends on how you like them in your spoon later when serving the soup. Cook, covered for 10-12 min from boiling point.
• 3. When the 10-12 min of boiling has finished, add the fish fillets, the cherry tomatoes (cut into halves) the potatoes (cut into approx 1cm) or the rice if you decide to put in rice instead of potatoes. Add the turmeric powder too. Cook for a further 15 min.
• 4. When finished cooking, add the finely chopped garlic and turn the heat off. Cover and allow to rest for a few minutes.
• 5. Just before serving (while still pipping hot) add the creme fraiche and the dill. Taste for salt and add some more if you feel it is needed. Crush some more pepper if you wish.
• 6. When serving add some lemon/lime juice and some chilli if you wish to spice it up a little. Go for it! Deliciosso!!
