Coconut Cod Chowder image

This herb-laced chowder gets its silky texture and nutty flavor from coconut milk, a plant-based substitute for the more traditional heavy cream used in many chowders. Cannellini beans are a protein-rich swap for potatoes that offer a creamy, satisfying bite.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 stalks celery, sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 8-ounce bottles clam juice (see Cook's Note)
One 15-ounce can coconut milk
1 1/4 pounds cod fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup yellow or gold grape tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
Crushed red pepper flakes, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat until glistening. Add the celery, onion, garlic and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the clam juice and coconut milk and bring just to a simmer. Add the cod and beans, then cover and simmer over low heat until the fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and lemon juice; let stand for 1 minute. Gently stir in the dill, parsley and scallions and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve, passing additional herbs and crushed red pepper, if using, at the table.
