👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pot.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes
2
Add butter to the pot with the bacon fat. Add chopped onion, fennel, and celery. Cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
⏱️ 10 minutes
3
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 1 minute
4
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste.
⏱️ 2 minutes
5
Gradually whisk in the fish stock and milk until smooth. Add the diced potatoes and bring to a simmer.
💡 전문가 팁: Whisking gradually prevents lumps.
6
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
⏱️ 20 minutes
7
Add the cod and haddock pieces to the pot. Gently stir and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
⏱️ 7 minutes
💡 전문가 팁: Be careful not to overcook the fish.
8
Stir in the heavy cream, fresh dill, and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Do not boil after adding cream.
💡 전문가 팁: Simmer gently, do not boil, once cream is added.
9
Ladle the chowder into bowls. Garnish with the reserved crispy bacon.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve hot.
