Hearty Halibut Chowder

I got this recipe when I lived in Anchorage, Alaska. It’s made from Alaskan halibut. The shredded carrots and Cheddar cheese in this chowder make it distinctive.

Step: 1

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and garlic, and continue cooking until the potatoes have softened slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step: 2

Pour in the chicken stock, tomatoes, and carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the milk and cream, season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the halibut. Continue simmering uncovered until the halibut is flaky and no longer translucent in the center, about 10 minutes. Gently stir in the Cheddar cheese and red pepper flakes until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.

The name of “stew” can process to 2 time a dish and a cooking method. Stewing makes slowly cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a flavorful water based . It’s similar to braising, but it makes have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but of being cooked all of it , and the liquid completely covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for being a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew can make warming featured food , but stew’s comfort factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
