Canadian Aboriginal Peoples Seafood Chowder Toody Ni

Submitted by Olha7397

"This rich and delicious chowder was a favourite with customers at the Toody Ni Grill. It can be a meal in itself with bannock, though it is also great as a soup course in a full dinner—provided you don’t get too carried away with the serving size. Serve a small bowl or cupful as one course in a wonderful Native feast for all your guests."

ingredients

• 8 cups fish stock or 8 cups water
• 1⁄2 cup bacon fat or 1/2 cup butter
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 bay leaf
• 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄4 lb potato, diced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1⁄2 green pepper, diced
• 1⁄3 lb salmon, cubed
• 1⁄3 lb fresh clam
• 1⁄3 lb red snapper, cubed
• salt and pepper
• 1⁄2 cup whipping cream (approx.)

directions

1. In a large saucepan, bring fish stock to a boil.
2. In a large heavy soup pot over medium high heat, heat bacon fat. Saute onion, celery, garlic and bay leaf until onions are transparent.
3. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. (The result is what chefs call a roux.) Slowly add hot stock to the roux, stirring well to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.
4. Add potato, carrot and green pepper; simmer until vegetables are tender.
5. Add clams, salmon and red snapper. Cook over low heat until fish is cooked through and tender, about 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Remove from heat and stir in just enough cream to turn the chowder white.
7. Serves 10 to 12 as a starter, 6 to 8 as a main course.
8. Feast! Canadian Native Cuisine For All Seasons.
