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.

1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced
2 tomatillos, papery skin removed, minced (optional)
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoon minced fresh oregano, or 1 tablespoon crumbled dried
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chipolte pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)
1/4 cup red wine or white wine
1 bay leaf
2 cups chopped peeled tomatoes, fresh or canned
1 to 2 cups kidney beans and/or black beans
Salt

1/2 pound shrimp, shells removed
1/2 pound sea scallops, rinsed, patted dry, and cut into halves or quarters, depending on size

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium high heat. When hot, add the onion, garlic, bell peppers, tomatillos, oregano, chili powder, cumin, and chipotle pepper. Lower the heat to medium low and saute, stirring often, until the onions and peppers are soft and limp, about 10 minutes. Add the wine, turn up to medium high, and stir until most of it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add the bay leaf and tomatoes, turn the heat down to medium and simmer gently, covered, until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Stir in the beans, and add the clams, shrimp, and scallops and cook just until the shrimp are bright pink and the scallops are white, and no longer glossy, about 5 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.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: Fresh seafood will give your chili the best flavor. If you can't find fresh seafood, frozen seafood is a good option.
  • Choose a variety of seafood: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of seafood in your chili. This will add depth and complexity to the flavor.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality chili base: The chili base is the foundation of your chili, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chili base that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of spices.
  • Add vegetables to your chili: Vegetables will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your chili. Some good vegetables to add to seafood chili include onions, peppers, celery, carrots, and corn.
  • Season your chili to taste: Once you've added all of your ingredients, taste your chili and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more chili powder, cumin, or salt and pepper.
