Seafood chowder





Last night's easy peasy dinner. I also made some garlic croutons to go with it (cut up some old bread into rough cubes, saute in a mix of olive oil and butter, and toss in some garlic when the bread is done and crisp).

Doncha just love the sunny golden colour?

I basically used this New England seafood chowder recipe. I didn't have squash or kale but I can imagine how more complex the flavour would be if I had them to throw in. I added a bit more cayenne pepper, and of course a bit of crumbled bacon and bacon fat were must-haves!

Err, is the butter in the olive oil-butter mixture melted?

eek! What I meant was do I melt the butter in the olive-butter mixture first or let it melt in the skillet with the olive oil?

Just throw both into the pan and they'll happily melt together :-)
