 King Crab and Wild Mushroom Chowder

King Crab Chowder
Serves: 8

 
Prep Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:
 

  • 1 pound Yukon Gold or other thin-skinned potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
     
  • 1 pound mixed fresh wild mushrooms such as chanterelles, oysters, and/or shiitakes
     
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
     
  • 4 ounces bacon (about 4 slices), chopped
     
  • 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
     
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
     
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
     
  • 4 cups chicken broth
     
  • 1-1/2 cups whipping cream
     
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
     
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire
     
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
     
  • 1 pound shelled cooked King crab
     
  • Salt
     
  • Fresh-ground pepper

    Directions:
    1. In a 3- to 4-quart pan, combine potatoes with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover pan, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.

    2. Meanwhile, rinse mushrooms briefly and drain. Trim off and discard any tough stem ends; if using shiitakes, discard whole stems. Cut mushrooms into large bite-size pieces. In a heavy 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms and stir often until liquid is evaporated and mushrooms are just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Pour into a bowl.

    3. Add bacon to same pan over medium-high heat and stir often until beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic and stir often until onion is limp, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over onion mixture and stir often until just beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

    4. Whisk chicken broth and cream into pan and continue whisking until mixture boils and thickens, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in sherry, Worcestershire, and thyme, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

    5. Gently stir in potatoes, mushrooms, and crab. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook until heated through.

    NOTES: You can substitute common button mushrooms for the wild ones. To add wild flavor, cover 2 packages mixed dried wild mushrooms (about 3/4 oz. total) with 1 cup boiling water and let soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Lift mushrooms out gently, squeeze dry, and cut into bite-size pieces; add with button mushrooms in step 2. Substitute the mushroom-soaking liquid for one cup of the chicken broth in step 4, pouring it in carefully, leaving the sediment behind.

    WINE PICK: Pinot Noir
