Fish Chowder
« on: April 21, 2010, 11:49:51 pm »
1 rasher of bacon
Dash of olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 small stick of celery incl leaves  (roughly chopped)
1 carrot (roughly chopped)
½ cup broccoli (roughly chopped- the solid part tastes good too)
½ a leek (sliced in half and roughly chopped)
Clove of garlic
2 potatoes (chopped into small pieces-  1cm maximum)
500g milk
125g water
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon stock (vege or chicken or whatever you have)
Salt & pepper
200g white fish (chopped into rough cubes- 2cm approx)
1 tablespoon cornflour
100-200g cheese to your taste

Grate cheese and then set aside.
Place celery, carrot, broccoli and leek in bowl and chop for a few seconds on speed 5 (pieces should still be a little bit chunky.) Remove from bowl and set aside.
Chop bacon and garlic for 5sec on speed 7. Add a little oil and cook at 100’ for 2min speed soft.
Add vegetables and butter to bowl and cook at 100’ for another 3min or until leek is softened, reverse speed soft.
Remove the bacon/vege mix and put to one side. Don’t clean the bowl.
And milk, water, nutmeg, stock, salt and pepper, and potatoes to the bowl. Cook at 90’ for 10min on reverse speed soft.
Return vegetables to the bowl and cook for another 10min at 90’ reverse speed soft.
Add fish pieces and cornflour and cook for another 10min at 90’.
Add the grated cheese through the lid a couple of minutes before it finishes.

notes-
Add a little of the liquid to the cornflour before adding to the bowl.
Don’t get too hung up on vegetable quantities, just use what you have. I think you’d be looking at about 100g of each of the carrot, broccoli etc but it really does not matter.

Serves 4 for lunch, or 2 for dinner in my opinion.

Thanks Merlot. My DH is always on at me to make this. I may have to use your recipe and give it a try.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Thanks Merlot - thought that I had commented - but my computer may have crashed.

Like the recipe and the idea of cooking at 90 deg rather than 100.
