BASIC TUNA CHOWDER

Steps:

• Start by boiling about 8 pints or 4 liters of Water in a pot.
• Peel the Potatoes, the Carrot, and the Onion.
• Throw away the peelings.
• Cut the Onion in half, saving the other half for anything else.
• Slice the Carrot in centimeter strips, then cut each strip in half.
• Cut each Potato into eigths, then cut each strip in half.
• Dice the Onion VERY fine.
• I do this by hand, but a food processor works.
• Add all of the sliced and diced materials to the boiling water.
• After about 3 minutes, reduce heat to medium.
• Add the Salt, Pepper, Corn Oil, Butter, and Rum.
• Stir for a minute.
• Add the three cans of Starkist Tuna, juice and all.
• Add the Flour and stir until it blends.
• Allow mixture to boil for another 10 minutes, stirring once a minute or so.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Add any additional salt or pepper to taste.
• Garlic powder at this stage is not unheard of.
• Stir well after adding any more dry goods.
• The onions should have dissolved into the stew at this point, and only the most hardy chunks of potato will have survived the process.
• Allow stew to reach desired thickness.
• This may take some time.
• Stir on low heat once in a while.
• Remember, potato based stews WILL thicken somewhat after cooling.
• When desired thickness is reached, remove from heat.
• Serve with flat bread, wheat bread, in a bread bowl, as a side dish, or over a chowder-friendly base.
• Crackers optional.

CORN CRAB AND CRAWFISH CHOWDER

Steps:

• Fry bacon, drain & crumble & set aside.
• Saute onions, 3/4 of the green onions, bell pepper and celery in the bacon grease (or butter).
• When onions are clear stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
• Over medium heat add flour and make a light roux, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, but don't brown.
• Add chicken stock, milk and heavy cream then simmer until desired consistency.
• Add corn, crawfish, crabmeat, sherry, and worchestershire sauce.
• Stir well and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper to taste.
• Serve in individual bowls and garnish with bacon crumbles and reserved green onions. Enjoy!
• NOTE: Fresh cut corn makes this recipe even better. Use about 2 cups of fresh corn, with the milk from the cob. Hold the shucked corn over a bundt pan and just cut the corn from the cob. Go back over the cob with the dull side of the knife blade to get the extra milk. All of it will fall into the bundt pan for easy clean-up and transfer to your pot.
