south coast portuguese fish chowder, recipe from: 50 chowders, this chowder has a relationship to new bedford and the area new englanders call south coast, which includes that part of southeastern massachusetts west of cape cod and a small piece of eastern rhode island. the area is ethnically diverse, with a large portuguese population, but everyone, even those who aren tsp portuguese, loves good food. i served this chowder recently to a group at sakonnet vineyards in little compton, rhode island. as soon as word got out that there was chourico (a dry, spicy, garlicky portuguese sausage) in the chowder, the crowd demolished it. almost everyone in this region loves chourico, which the locals pronounce shore-eese. all over new england where the portuguese have settled, chourico is included in clambakes, clam boils, and other traditional yankee fare., its translucent reddish broth and colorful pieces of bell pepper, tomato, chourico, potato, fish, and cilantro, this portuguese-style chowder is very enticing. it has a splendid aroma and a savory spicy flavor, making it an interesting and exciting alternative to milder creamy chowders., i like to serve this chowder with toasted garlic bread or a crusty loaf of portuguese or italian bread., serves: 8 as a main course, equipment, you will need a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot with a lid, a wooden spoon, a slotted spoon, and a ladle., olive oil, dried bay leaves, garlic, finely chopped (1 tbsp), onions (14 oz), cut into 1/4-inch dice, green bell pepper (6 oz), cut into 1/2-inch dice, ground allspice, yukon gold , maine, pei, or other all-purpose potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/3 inch thick, fish stock , chicken stock, or water (as a last resort), canned whole tomatoes in juice (from a 28-oz can), cut into 1/2-inch dice (measured with their juice), spicy chourico or andouille sausage, casing removed and sliced 1/4 inch thick, kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, skinless silver hake , cod, haddock, or bass fillets, pinbones removed 10 sprigs fresh cilantro, leaves and tender stems finely chopped (1/4 cup), coarsely chopped fresh italian parsley

mile high lemon meringue secrets, lemon meringue pie may be an american classic , but it can be tricky to prepare. there s the crust with all its issues, then the tart filling and the meringue itself, which is all too prone to weeping. and that topping is never, ever as tall and fluffy as we would like. we wanted to figure out how to make a perfect lemon meringue pie with a sky-high topping. here s what we discovered, make the meringue with a hot sugar syrup (what the professionals call italian-style meringue). this ensures that the meringue is cooked through and stable enough to be piled high on top of the filling. the addition of a little cream of tartar to the egg whites while mixing also helps to stabilize the meringue.flavor the filling with both lemon zest and lemon juice for the brightest citrus flavor. remember to strain the filling to remove the zest, which would mar the otherwise silky smooth filling.use a rubber spatula to spread the meringue over the filled pie, making sure to stick the meringue to the edge of the pie crust to prevent the topping from shrinking. once all the meringue is on the pie, use the spatula to make the spikes and peaks of meringue., all-purpose flour , for dusting, brisee (pie dough) for 1 single 9 inch pie crust, egg, heavy cream, cornstarch, cake flour, salt, sugar, egg yolks, lightly beaten, fresh lemon juice, lemon rind, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, egg whites, sugar, salt
