Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup butter
4 fresh tomatoes, diced
2 bell peppers, chopped into 3/4 inch pieces
2 heads garlic, crushed
3 green onions, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 (8 ounce) can baby corn, drained and cut into bite-size pieces
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
1 dash lime juice, or to taste
1 (16 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with liquid
½ pound cooked crabmeat
1 pinch brown sugar, or as needed
1 (7 ounce) can hearts of palm, drained and cut into bite-size pieces
1 pound jumbo shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
1 pound sea scallops
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large stockpot over medium-low heat; add tomatoes, bell peppers, garlic, and green onions. Cook and stir frequently until tomatoes have nearly liquefied, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Stir kidney beans, baby corn, and celery into the tomato mixture; add chili powder and lime juice and season with salt and ground black pepper. Cover and cook on low, stirring occasionally, until celery is soft but still has texture, about 1 hour.
  • Stir crab meat and canned tomatoes with liquid into kidney bean mixture, breaking up tomatoes in thirds with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper; add brown sugar if chili tastes too salty.
  • Stir shrimp, scallops, and hearts of palm into chili; cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.

SEAFOOD CHILI



Seafood Chili image

The original recipe for this chili calls for "frozen haddock fillets" but I have used cod and it worked well. Any fairly firm white fish will do. (not sure where this came from, have had it for years on copied sheet, one of those type that are passed around an office; it is good and a nice change from the regular type of chili.)

HEALTHY FISH CHILI

I love to cook healthy. Low salt, low fat, but without knowing it. I spend a lot of time experimenting with different ideas. This one, I must say, turned out amazing!

Provided by Kimberly Seiwert @k_sue61

Categories     Fish Soups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can(s) black beans
1 can(s) diced tomatoes
1 can(s) rotel tomatoes
1 can(s) (small) sliced black olives
2 large swai (fish)
1 package(s) chili seasoning
2 tablespoon(s) chili powder
1 - bell pepper
1/2 - white onion

Steps:

  • Dry fish. Spray lightly with olive oil spray. Coat fish generously with 1/2 pkg. of chili seasoning. Bake in the oven @ 350 for 30 min.
  • While the fish is cooking, dice the peppers and onion. Put all other ingredients into a pot and cook on med. heat. When the fish is done, remove from the oven and dice into bite size pieces and add to the other ingredients. Let cook another 45 min. on low heat.
  • This recipe serves 3. Can be doubled to serve more. Very healthy and delicious chili. (I use no salt added beans and check the sodium content on the chili seasoning).

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For the best results, use a firm, white fish such as cod, halibut, or tilapia. Avoid using oily fish like salmon or tuna, as they will not hold up well in the chili.
  • Don't overcook the fish: The fish should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked fish will become tough and dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your chili, the more flavorful it will be. Some good options include onions, bell peppers, corn, and black beans.
  • Season the chili to taste: Chili is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add chili powder, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the chili simmer: The longer you simmer the chili, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chili include sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced avocado.

Conclusion:

Fish chili is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying chili that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give fish chili a try!
