Ingredients

Method

Place a large saucepan on the stove and apply medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and then fry the onion until transparent and softened. Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add the bay leaves torn into pieces. Then add the clams in their shells and the white wine. Cook the clams for about 3-4 minutes. Remove the meat from the cooked clams and set aside. Add the potatoes to the saucepan. Next, cover the pan and simmer the mixture gently until the potatoes have softened a little, but are still firm.

Using a large separate pot, add some butter and sauté the remaining onion with the leek and celery over medium heat. Season with pepper and salt and cook the vegetables until soft. Add 3/4 of the milk and place the smoked fish skin-side up into the milk and bring to the boil. Cook the fish for a few minutes. Then remove the fish, cool slightly and then flake the flesh from the skin. Set the fish aside in a bowl.

The add the corn and green beans to the milk mixture. Next add the potatoes, smoked fish and plain fish, clams and parsley mixture. Cook the assembled chowder gently for 15-20 minutes to combine the tastes.
