100 gram Streaky Bacon chopped into 1.5cm / 1/2" squares
2 cloves Garlic finely minced
0.5 cup Chardonnay or other dry white wine; can skip
0.333 cup Flour plain/all-purpose; gluten-free option available
1 litre Chicken Stock low sodium or homemade fish stock; avoid store-bought fish stock
2 medium Carrots peeled, cut into 7mm / 1/3" pieces (~1 1/2 cups)
2 large Potatoes any type fine; peeled, cut into 1cm / 0.2" cubes (~2 1/2 cups)
1 cup Thickened Cream or heavy cream; sub milk for lighter option
1 cup Corn frozen or canned, drained
2 teaspoon Fish Sauce
pinch White Pepper substitute black pepper
SERVING
3 tablespoon Chives or parsley; finely chopped, for garnish
Crusty Bread or better yet, garlic bread
Equipment
Heavy-based pot
Slotted spoon
Whisk
Knife
Cutting board
Peeler
Ladle
Bowls
Instructions
1
Separate cooked seafood (usually mussels, sometimes prawns/shrimp) from raw seafood. We put them in at different times.
2
Cut any large pieces of fish into 2.5cm / 1" cubes.
3
CHOWDER: In a heavy-based pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add bacon and cook for 3 - 4 minutes until the edges are light golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove into bowl, leaving fat in the pot.
4
Add the garlic and cook for 10 seconds (don't let it brown). Add the wine, simmer rapidly on high for 3 minutes, scraping the base to loosen any golden bacon bits, until the wine is mostly evaporated.
5
Reduce heat down to medium, add the flour and mix for 1 minute ("roux").
6
While stirring, pour in about 1 cup of the stock and mix to dissolve the roux - it will thicken into a paste. Add the remaining stock and stir well until lump free (use a whisk if needed).
7
Increase heat to high, bring to the boil, add the carrots, potatoes and bacon. Lower heat to medium and simmer for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the carrots are just about done.
8
Add the cream, fish sauce, pepper, corn and raw seafood. Simmer for 3 minutes until the fish is just cooked (test - flesh should flake).
9
Stir in cooked seafood, taste and add more salt if needed (I don't).
10
Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with chives. Serve with warm crusty bread for dunking!
