Description

Easy and tasty.

Ingredients
  • 1 skin-on trout, boned
  • 2 onions, finely chopped, divided
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle light-colored beer
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • ¼ pound salt pork, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken stock
  • 2 potatoes, cubed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Directions
  1. 1. Place trout, 1 onion, beer, and lemon in a heavy bottomed pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cook until trout easily flakes with a fork, about 15 minutes. Transfer trout to a flat work surface and remove skin. Discard beer, onion, and lemon.
  2. 2. Place salt pork in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Reserve drippings and drain salt pork on paper towels.
  3. 3. Melt butter in the skillet. Add remaining onion and celery; saute until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the pot. Stir in chicken stock, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  4. 4. Place trout, salt pork, and heavy cream into the pot. Cook until chowder is heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and chives.
