WHAT YOU NEED…

  • Hearts of palm: can be found in cans in most stores these days. Their natural flavor can be compared to asparagus or artichoke hearts.
  • Onions: are a must to create the aromatic, full-flavored roundness that they bring to this chowder.
  • Celery: bring a mild herbal note to the dish.
  • Garlic: is another aromatic that adds to the roundness and gives us a slight sulphuric note.
  • Potatoes: We used Yukon potatoes for this chowder. They bring a nice starchiness to the chowder and a homey feel.
  • Kelp Granules: bring a saltiness without adding sodium plus that umami notes to replace the clam flavor.
  • Kombu Sheet: this may seem redundant since we are adding the kelp granules but the flavors are very different. The kombu gives a huge punch of brine.
