Seafood ChowderIngredients

  • 1kg Seafood Marinara Mix
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 2 rashers bacon
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Remove rind from the bacon, chop into pieces and sauté in a large heated saucepan with half the olive oil.
Add the second half of the oil and the diced onions.
Place the potatoes on top of the bacon and onions.
Next add the Seafood Marinara mix and the boiling water then leave to simmer for 10 minutes or until the potato cubes are cooked.
Make a white sauce using the butter, flour and milk. (Melt the butter in another saucepan, take off the heat then mix in the flour to form a paste and then gradually add the milk to make a smooth sauce.)
Season the white sauce with salt, pepper and herbs.
Pour the white sauce into the seafood saucepan and allow it to thicken on the heat.
Serve, accompanied with crusty French bread.
