Method
step 1
Heat oil in large pan. Add garlic puree and saute onions until clear.step 2
Crumble fish stock cubes into pan and add potatoes. Fry while stirring for a minute or so, then pour enough hot water to cover the potatoes. Stir. Bring to the boil. Boil for 15 mins, stirring occasionally, or until potatoes are cooked.step 3
Using a fork or masher, crush a few of the potatoes to get preferred consistency. We like chowder quick thick, so I crush approx 50% of the potatoes. Season with salt and black pepperstep 4
Add fish, prawns and veg. Bring back to the boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until fish is cooked through. Check seasoning.step 5
Take off heat and add milk. Stirstep 6
