Q: I'm looking for a new chowder recipe. Do you have any you can share? A: (Chef Paul Sturkey, DIY Cooking expert) Here's a recipe that combines smoked ham, corn and crabmeat. Following are chef Sturkey's cooking tips as presented in the program. Click here for listing of ingredients and printable recipe. - Begin with a 4-quart sauce-pan. Add olive oil and a small amount of unsalted butter to the bottom of the pan, and begin heating it. If you like, you can add some bacon fat to add flavor.
- Add 1/2-cup of diced purple onion, 4 cloves of garlic.
- Next, add 1 cup of diced ham (figure A). Use a flavorful, smoked ham such as Tasso ham from Louisiana or a cottage ham.
- Add 1/4-cup of diced peppers.
- Saute the ingredients over moderate heat.
- Add 1/2-cup of diced potatoes.
- Next, add corn. Use fresh corn on the cob. Cut the cob in half to make it easier to handle, then use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels away from the cob halves (figure B).
- Add 1/4-cup of chipotle peppers. Chipotle is made from smoked jalapeno peppers. They add a spicy, smoked flavor. You can leave this ingredient out if you avoid spicy foods.
- Continue stirring the ingredients over moderate heat (figure C), and add chicken broth.
- Once you've added the broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 to 20 minutes minutes.
- Next, add whipping cream. Bring the mixture to a boil again, then reduce to simmer.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for about 50 minutes. If you like, you can puree the ingredients further using a hand-held immersion blender. Avoid over-blending.
- Ladle the soup into bowls (figure D).
- For final presentation, add croutons and lump crabmeat. Sprinkle with chopped chives and black pepper (figure E).
