Fish and Clam Chowder – low carb


Absolutely amazing! This low carb version of the comfort food sample will not disappoint you. I promise!

My husband and I alternate nights cooking. Tonight it was his turn and his debut in the world of chowders. Beginner’s luck or mad skills… either way, you’ll be glad he ventured that route!

Potatoes are substituted here by cauliflower and daikon radish, but, shhh, don’t tell anyone, they will have no idea 😉

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of crisped up bacon
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1/4 of a cauliflower head, cut into florets
  • 1lb of white fish
  • 2 small cans of clams
  • 8 oz bottle of clam juice
  • 2 cups of stock (fish or chicken)
  • 2 cups of heavy cream
  • Dried thyme
  • Dried tarragon
  • Few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
  • Garlic salt
  • Celery salt
  • Salt and pepper

Sauté the beacon, put it aside and save the fat. In the bacon fat sauté the onions, herbs, radishes and cauliflower.

Add clam juice and stock. Simmer for 25 min.

Add your seafood, cook for 6 min on low temperature, add cream and Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, simmer for another minute or two.

Et Viola! Heaven!!!

PS: a splash or two of Tabasco add extra yummy kick to it
