Bacon and corn add smoky-sweet flavour to this chowder inspired by chef Ryan Dunne of The Fairmont Algonquin. Use our recipe for Cooked Lobster and Stock or buy a steamed lobster and prepared fish stock from a fishmonger.
Ingredients
- 2 large corn cobs, husked
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper, (approx)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 potatoes, cubed
- 1 onion, diced
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/4 cup diced bacon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 cups lobster stock or fish stock
- 1 cooked lobster, (1-1/2 lb/750 g), shelled and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 cup 10% cream
- 1/4 cup shredded fresh basil
Preparation
In pot of boiling water, blanch corn for 5 minutes. Drain and let cool enough to handle; remove kernels. In small bowl, toss together corn, oil, salt and pepper. Spread on small baking sheet; roast in 400°F (200°C) oven until beginning to char, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-low heat; cook potatoes, onion, carrot, bacon and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually pour in stock, stirring and scraping up brown bits from pan; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Add lobster meat, corn and cream; heat through. Season with more salt and pepper if desired. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours. Gently reheat without boiling.) Serve garnished with basil.
