Title: Recipe Review - Hearty Seafood Chowder, p.53 Devil of a Cookbook
Post by: cecilia on July 18, 2012, 09:21:53 am

Another taste sensation from the kitchen of Peter Franks.  Wonderful rich chowder, just perfect for a cold night like tonight.  Peter lives in a famed farming district of Tassie and I could picture every vege not just in the Thermomix, in the fridge or in the Vege Shed, but stretched out along the coast in the rich-red-soiled paddocks.  Of course, we also had the seafood - ling, trout, salmon and prawns, as oysters and scallops weren't available this week.  YUM!  Not to mention the cream, the wine and a few herbs.  Beautiful.

5/5 doesn't seem a high enough score for a chowder so excellent.

But do take care not to get too enthusiastic in piling in the veges.  You don't want the Thermomix over-full when the chowder is chugging around.  So two small carrots, four skinny celery sticks and not the heaviest spuds, or there'll be spillage when the fish goes in.

We had this tonight for dinner. DH declared it sensational!
I'm not a huge seafood fan, but even I thought it was nice.

I used ling, salmon, prawns & scallops (no oysters, as the thought turns my stomach!). Most of the ling broke up and mixed into the soup, so I cut the pieces bigger if I made it again.
