Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 -I didnt try irt with coconut milk , but used virgin coconut oil in it .The family rebelled. they said coconut flavor and clam chowder dont mix well.I thought it was fine.They wouldnt eat it. for my husband I make clamchowder using cauliflower instead of potatoes since he is trying to control his carbs. he said the flavor is acceptable. I have found very large cans of sea clams at Sams club here in Wilmington NC.It makes an enormous pot of clam chowder and the clams are amazingly tender.

It tastes great, albeit more of a " Thai " flavor than a New England one! I like cooking with coconut milk because it doesn't curdle ... my chowders used to curdle a lot ... The recipe I made tonight: 1. Boil some chicken broth (mainly because I had some extra). 2. Add some leftover fish bits (tail, bone, some meat). Or clam juice, if using canned clams. 3. Boil to get the fish extract, then strain to get the bones out. 4. Add chopped potatoes, onion, corn, coconut milk. 5. At this point, you would add clams and thickener (potato flour being the best). However, I added a bunch of chicken thighs because that's what I was in the mood for. You can start with just plain water also, and add coconut milk, potato, onion, corn. I like the nice flavor and nutrients that come from bones and broth though. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Coconut milk will certainly not taste like a clam chowder. Coconut milk when cooked would taste more like coconut oil.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 We make oyster stew using coconut milk. First We sauté chopped onion carfully to get it caramelized, but not burnt then everything goes into the coconut milk. Delicious!
