Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
2 rashers of smoked Yorkshire bacon, or smoked pancetta. We used 60g of Lishman’s smoked, diced pancetta
Oak Smoked Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil
Pinch cayenne pepperPinch of ground cinnamon
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
½ red chilli
1 fresh bay leaf
Handful of fresh thyme – leaves removed from the stem
1 bunch of spring onions
100g Maris Piper or washed red potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tin sweetcorn – drained
1 x 150g fillet of sustainably sourced smoked haddock, skin off, pin-boned and cut into bite sized chunks
1 litre chicken stock, we used TRUEfoods chilled chicken stock
125ml single cream, we like Longley Farm
10-15 water biscuits
Juice of ½ lemon
METHOD
In a large casserole dish, fry the bacon or pancetta in the Oak Smoked Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil until golden brown, then add the chilli, garlic, thyme, spices and bay leaf and continue to cook together for a few minutes. Add the spring onions, diced potatoes and the sweetcorn and cook together before adding the chunks of smoked haddock.
Finally, add the chicken stock, and simmer gently for around 20 minutes, until the fish is cooked. Give the chowder a good stir and add the single cream - taking care not to boil the chowder as the cream will split.
Once fully warmed through, remove the bay leaf and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice, topped with the crushed water biscuits, and a little drizzle of Oak Smoked Rapeseed Oil.
