Project 365: Day 114 and 101 in 1001 days update

I'm double dipping tonight with a picture of the day along with a 101 list update. I made smokey fish chowder from a recipe from Real Simple though I skipped the parsley:

Smokey Fish Chowder
8 ounces Spanish chorizo thinly sliced
4 leeks (white and light green parts) cut into half moons
1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes cut 0.5 inch piece
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
2 pounds skinless firm white fish (halibut or cod) cut into 2 inch pieces
0.5 cup chopped fresh parsley

In a large pot, brown the chorizo over medium-high heat, 1-2 minutes. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 3-4 minutes.

Add the potatoes, tomatoes (with their juices), 3 cups water, 0.75 teaspoon salt, 0.75 teaspoon pepper; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Add the fish and simmer gently until opaque throughout, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the parsley before serving.

Since this recipe is new, it also counts as part of item 37.


The recipe was easy to follow, but the result is fairly bland. This recipe is definitely not a keeper.
