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!

CREAMY SEAFOOD CHOWDER

Steps:

• You can cook this fish chowder on high for about 4 hours, or you can cook it on low for about 6 to 8 hours. Whichever you choose, preheat a covered slow cooker to that setting while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients. Use a paper towel to wipe down the sides and the bottom of the cooker with oil to prevent sticking.
• Cut the fish into bite sized pieces, then place them in the slow cooker along with the potatoes, carrots, celery and onion (include any additional seafood you want to use).
• Add the parsley, rosemary, salt and white pepper as recommended or to taste. Gently mix them in with the fish.
• Add the hot sauce to taste, along with the diced tomatoes, white wine and clam juice.
• Stir gently again to mix blend them. Cover the cooker and cook on high for 4 about hours or on low for about 8 hours.
• About an hour before your fish chowder is finished cooking, blend together the heavy cream, melted butter and the flour. Make sure it is mixed well. Gently stir it into the chowder and continue to cook for another hour.
