Last night watching Iron Chef on the food network made me want to cook. Have decided I need to get a pasta machine because the fresh pasta looked wonderful.
But tonight I am thinking I should have fish...Fish chowder sounds good for a Friday night in Maine. I have some carrots from my CSA share, potatoes and onions. I figure I have a good start. I make mine chowder by feel so decided to review a couple of good recipes and see if I could find one that is close to mine. Two key ingredients that are absolutes: celery and thyme. So here are two recipes that I think sound good and one includes my carrots. I suggest that you try my method of cooking. Read a few and go for it with your own taste and feel. I like the first one:
I am not sure about the crackers (never did this but found several recipes calling for them?)
Now for side salad. I wonder why fruit salad always seems right with Fish Chowder. I am thinking strawberries, blue cheese and baby spinach. A balsamic reduction sauce is really good..This sounds fancy but really is pretty basic but tasty. This simple recipe is fine...I add a bit of brown sugar if it does not sweeten enough.
Lastly I have an organic corn muffin mix that will be great. I have not tried it so if it turns out good I will let you know. It is from my CSA and it is from a Maine producer.
