My popular 20 minute chowder meal on YouTube

I have now recorded a video of my popular Tomato based chowder recipe.

Ingredients:

2 chorizo sausages, chopped (optional)

2 onions, chopped

2 sticks celery, chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 anchovies, chopped

800ml Fish stock

400g passata or crushed tomatoes

1 handful parsley, chopped

400g potatoes, peeled and chopped 1cm square

1 courgette, sliced & quartered

Pinch saffron, dissolved

Pepper and salt

20 cherry tomatoes, halved

600g mixed fish, including smoked and shellfish

Zest & juice 1 lemon

A few shots Tabasco (optional)

Small handful samphire (optional)


Method:

1. Place the potatoes in a steamer to cook for 8 mins.

2. Cook off the chorizo for 3-4 mins in a pot, remove and set aside.

3. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in the pot, cook the onions, celery and garlic for 3-4 mins.

4. Add back in the chorizo and anchovies, add in the stock, parsley, courgette, saffron and the passata and simmer for 5 mins, season.

5. Add in the fish, potatoes and cherry tomatoes, simmer for a further 5 mins.

6. Serve warm in bowls, topped with lemon zest and juice. Add samphire or Tabasco to taste.


Variations: You can use any sustainable fish you like; I like mixing in smoked and shellfish. You can replace the potato with sweet potato if you wish.


Serving suggestions : Serve immediately in bowls as a main meal.


Storage: This will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge but the fish will break up over time.
