328 style chowder with Recipes

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

your favorite diced tomatoes (add another can if feeding more than 4 people), frozen fish such as red snapper , cod, etc. or fresh fish of your choice., water (for four people), yellow or white onion, vegetables, chopped (see below ), chopped fresh parsley or italian flat leaf parsley, tb chopped garlic, season with salt and pepper before serving based on your personal taste., you can add as many or as few chopped vegetables as you like. you can also use more or less fish depending on how thick you like your chowder to be.), this recipe can also be made with leftover fish and leftover vegetables. i do not suggest using leftover fish sticks or any other fried fish unless you remove the breaded topping first. if you do use fish that has been cooked, just add it to the chowder about two minutes before serving to heat it to the temperature of the other ingredients in the pot., if you prefer a mexican flavor , add 1 tsp. cumin and 1/2 tsp oregano with a dash of cayenne pepper (or more for a hotter flavor), if you prefer an italian flavor , add 1/2 tsp of italian seasonings or 1 tsp oregano, vegetables to be added are based on your favorites and what you may or may not have in your pantry at the time. here are some of my favorite additions for your review, diced potatoes , celery, carrots, zucchini, leeks, mushrooms, cabbage, mild chile peppers, red onions, artichoke hearts, and green or red bell peppers. you can add a handful of fresh spinach or 1/4 cup of frozen spinach. you can always add a can of mixed vegetables and of course, you can use frozen vegetables. i do not suggest using broccoli. corn is also a good addition. you can add a can of drained corn, black beans and a few tbsp of salsa for a great mexican fish soup., use canned tomatoes that have additional vegs in them such as mexican-style with chilies and onions, italian-style with peppers or anything other blend you prefer.)
