Mmm...



For the first time in a while, I did a little experimenting in the kitchen. Not sure what this creation is, but I think it falls between a bisque and a bouillabaisse.

I started by frying onions and garlic, then added some corn cut from the cob. For flavour I threw in some sweet Hungarian paprika, salt, pepper, and hot chili powder. I had some peppered mackeral leftover from pizza night, so I figured, "Why not?" To make a bit of a broth, I used milk, water, and a touch of cream. Finally, I put in some big prawns and let the mixture reduce.

You could put it over rice or pasta, but I chose to eat it straight with some bread. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Mmmm, sounds good. I did something similar last week and ended up with a salmon chowder made from the bits and pieces of things in my fridge. I love cooking with leftovers.

I think that's a chowder. Pronounced, "chow-da". Like you're JFK.

I would say so, too, but I think the paprika and lack of potatoes makes it something else. Plus, I don't live in New England, so who am I to say that it's chowder?

Nick, you're a culinary genius.

Does corn chowder have potatoes in it?
