Quahog & Sea Scallop Chowder

This recipe is from Abigail Rose as part of the Massachusetts Seafood Ambassador Program led by Eating with the Ecosystem.

Time: 1 hour
Serves: 6-8

Ingredients
For the clam broth:
· 15-20 quahogs
· 5 cups of water
For the chowder base:
· 2 sweet onions
· 3 medium potatoes, chopped
· 6 pieces of bacon, chopped
· 1 lb sea scallops, quartered
· 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
· 6 cups (roughly) of clam broth
· 2 cups half and half or heavy cream
· 15-20 quahogs from the clam broth (chopped)
· 2 sprigs of rosemary
· salt, to taste
· black pepper, to taste
For the roux:
· 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
· 1/4 cup clam broth
· 1/4 cup flour


Directions
This chowder is a 5 step process- but can be made as quickly or as slowly as you’d like (days if you’d prefer to prep on the weekends).

Step 1 - For the clam broth:

Place quahogs in 5 cups water in a large pan (same one you will use for the chowder). Boil on the stove for around 10 minutes, or until clam shells open. As clams open, remove from pot and place meat in a bowl. Discard the shells after all quahogs have been removed. Let the broth sit for 20-30 minutes to settle all the fine particles. After it settles, pour liquid in a container and set aside for future use.  You can strain the liquid as you pour or you can leave the last bit of liquid with particles in the pan so they do not make its way into the chowder. While the clam broth is brewing chop your onions, potatoes, bacon and quarter your scallops. 

Step 2: 

Place chopped bacon in the pot to fry - rendering the fat . Once bacon is cooked add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the pan. Add chopped onion and let onion soften. Once the onion is cooked, add rosemary sprigs and add 6 cups of clam broth. Turn temperature up so it is a rolling boil and add potatoes. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked. 

Step 3: 

Pan fry the quartered scallops so they are almost done ( 1-2 minutes, as scallops cook quickly) - and set aside with the clams. 

Step 4: 

While the potatoes are cooking, in a separate pan cook the roux. Place the unsalted butter and clam broth in the pan to boil. Once boiling add flour and whisk until thickened. Turn heat off and allow roux to sit while the potatoes finish. 

Step 5: 

Once potatoes are finished cooking. Whisk the roux base into the pot. Add 2 cups half and half and continue mixing. Chowder should start to thicken. Add the clams and scallops to the chowder and allow the chowder to simmer and develop flavor while thickening. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy.

1 medium Onion (chopped)
3 Carrots (Diced)
3 potatoes (cubed)
3 cups broth ( I used Chicken broth)

1TBSP Flour
2TBSP Water
1/2C Heavy Cream or Half & Half
Salt, pepper, celery seed, Bay Leaf, Oregano
2-3 Sprigs Parsley to garnish

Start by cooking bacon in a large pot, drain off some of the grease if you prefer but make sure to reserve some in the pot, remove the bacon to a plate.

Add butter and onion to pot and sauté until onion is translucent. Add carrots and potatoes and sauté another minute or two. Add cooking wine and sauté another minute. Pour in chicken broth and water and bring to a boil — reduce heat to medium high and cook until potatoes are tender (10—15 minutes).

Cut up haddock into bite size pieces and add to pot and cook on medium high 7—12 minutes until fish is able to be flaked wth a fork.

Add in corn and bacon and reduce to low. Mix flour and water in a cup and whisk until smooth and add to pot. Bring pot back to a boil for 2 minutes. Add seasonings. Reduce pot to a simmer and add cream. Do not boil the chowder once the cream is added just warm it stirring frequently.
