I had a pack of leftover french fries from a restaurant the other day and didn't want to throw them away because they tasted great. And, I thought why not try to use these potatoes in the seafood chowder I was going to make for dinner that evening without using new potatoes. It was an experiment but the soup turned out to be delicious. Here's what I did. Ingredients:
1 cup french fries, diced |
1 cup milk |
1 teaspoon butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 pinch nutmeg |
1/4 medium onion, finely diced |
1/4 cup celery, finely diced |
1/4 cup carrot, finely diced |
1 cup seafood (clam, shrimp, mouselle, squid, crab meat, ... using one kind or mixing a few kinds is both okay) |
Directions:
1. Cook onion, celery and carrots in water just covering the food for 10 minutes; drain.
2. Meanwhile, blend the first 6 ingredients till smooth (about 2 minutes).
3. Cook the seafood in minimal water.
4. •Cooking Time: most seafood will get tough if cooked longer than the time to just cook through, but things like shrimp head can cook for 5 - 10 minutes to release great flavor.
5. Put the drained vegetable and the blended mixture into the pot of seafood, stir and bring to a boil. Enjoy!
