2. How to make oyster chowder?
The oyster chowder recipe is also very simple, you just need to prepare the ingredients and follow these instructions:
- Preheat the oven to medium heat but be careful to prepare it on medium heat. Add a little butter, then add the celery and leeks to a saucepan. Once added, continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are soft, but do not let them brown. Wait for it to soften for 3 to 5 minutes.
- After the above ingredients have softened, add the wine to the vegetables and reduce the temperature by half. Continue adding the potatoes to the mixture and stir to combine them. Combine clam juice with 1 cup of filtered water and condensed wine. The potatoes will then absorb some of the saltiness of the oysters and alcohol, giving it a great flavor. When you're done adding these ingredients, bring to a simmer, cover, and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender. At this step, you need to wait for 6 to 7 minutes.
- Take 1/2 cup of the soup and blend until smooth in a blender or food processor then return to the pot. Add half a half and seafood to the pan and continue to stir. Need to season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer before adding oysters. Note that it should only be cooked until the oysters have started to roll, about 2 to 3 minutes, not too long. Turn off the stove to cool and garnish with parsley, possibly with oyster cakes.
