This clam chowder is scrumptious. A marvellous starter for a seafood evening or simply eaten as a light meal with fresh chunky buttered bread. Bon appetit!
You Need:-
3 Teaspoons Papa's All In One Curry Mix (I use the mild for this recipe)
5 Rashers streaky bacon (Cut into small pieces)
1 Medium Onion (finely chopped)
2 Cups Diced Potatoes (250ml cup), less potato of you prefer
1 280 gram tin Clams in Brine (Do not drain)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup plain flour
1 cup (250ml) chicken stock
3 cups (750ml) full cream milk
How to do it
Saute the bacon in a saucepan until crisp. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel. Discard bacon fat. Reduce heat and melt butter in the same saucepan. Add onion and saute until soft. Remove from heat. Add Papa's Curry Mix and flour and mix well. Add 1 Cup of Chicken stock and 1 cup of full cream milk. Mix well, return to heat. Add 2 more cups of milk and bring to the boil, stirring continously until mixture thickens. Add diced potatoes, bacon and the tinned clams and the brine. Mix well and cook the mixture until potatoes are soft.If you find that the mixture is too thick for your liking,add a little more milk sparingly to thin. Stir mixture occasionally. Serves 6.
Serve the chowder with crackers or chunky bread.
