This is a great and tasty chowder, hearty and filling, this is a cultural thing for Atlantic Canadians, and we are proud of this, and honestly, I absolutely love this,.. a lot.
Phase 1. Ingredients
2 Large Onions
2 Large Carrots
3 Celery Stalks
4 Medium Size Russet Potatoes
2 Bay Leafs
2 TBS Of Flour
1 TBS Oil
2 TBS Butter
2 Containers Of Chicken Stalk
2 Cups Of Chopped Up Sea Food
1 Can Of Creamed Corn
1 Litter Of Half and Half Cream
6 Strips Of Bacon
Black Pepper To Taste
Phase 2. Get To Da Chowda
Start by chopping up your onions, carrots and celery and potatoes very finely, you want these to be very fine as it is a chowder and you need to be able to fit it on a spoon.
Then on a frying pan cook up your bacon, do not over cook it until crisp you want it to be soft, when done take it out of the pan, and pat it down with paper towel and slice it up small.
In a large bowl take 2 TBS of butter and a few drops of extra virgin olive oil (so the butter doesn’t burn.) then add your potatoes, and some black pepper to taste, add your carrots, add in 2 containers of stock, add in your onions, and you want to keep mixing as you add, add some ground black pepper for taste, and a bit of lo-salt and keep stirring.
Now add your flour and automatically start mixing it this makes it thick.
After 10 minutes of simmering you want to add in 2 bay leafs.
For your sea food mix, you can use anything you can get easily and local, no need to go crazy, I’d recommend at least 4 different types of sea food.
Now add your creamed corn, and your celery, add in your bacon and continue to mix and then add in the rest of your sea food, including your scallops and let this cook for about 10 minutes.
You can continue to add your black pepper to season it, and you want to taste to make sure you have it seasoned any way you want.
When your done this process take a few minutes and fish the bay leafs out, and when your ready to serve simple put it into a bowl and then add a little half and half cream, (You can replace this with milk, or heavy cream) stir that in and your good to go!
We hope you like this, we love it a lot, and this is one of the most important dishes we have!
