Crockpot Monterey Clam Chowder Recipe
1 Carrot, diced (1)
1 md Onion, diced (1 1/2)
1 Potato, diced (2)
1 Stalk of celery, diced (2)
1/2 lb Minced bacon (3/4 lb.)
1/4 lb Margarine
3 Cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/2 qt Clam juice
1 1/2 c Flour
2 c Milk
2 c Heavy whipping cream
2 c Half-and-half
1/2 ts Black pepper
1/2 lb Chopped clams (fresh, frozen or canned)
1/2 ts Clam base (optional, available in most gourmet shops)
Place vegetables, bacon and margarine in a 5 quart sauce pot. Saute over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Be careful not to brown or scorch. When vegetables are tender, add flour to make a roux. Cook for two minutes, allowing flour to cook while stirring occasionally. Add clam juice and dairy products. Stir by using a wire whip. Add fresh garlic, black pepper, chopped clams and clam base. Cook over low-medium heat stirring occasionally to prevent chowder from scorching. Cook for two hours or until chowder is brought to desired thickness.
If a crockpot, or small steam kettle is available, it is recommended.
Also, clam juice can be added to thin chowder down if it gets too thick. YIELD: 4 servings
