Mussel and Corn Chowder
- 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup white wine dry
- 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
- 5 1/2 cups corn fresh
- 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 pound mussels black, scrubbed well and beards pulled off
- 1 each sweet red bell peppers cut into 4 inch dice
- 1/4 cup parsley leaves flat, freshly chopped
- In a saucepan bring stock to a boil and add wine.
- Reduce heat to low and keep liquid warm.
- In a 2 quart heavy saucepan melt butter over moderately low heat and whisk in flour.
- Cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes and add 1 cup stock mixture, whisking vigorously until thick and smooth.
- Add remaining stock mixture and bring to a boil, whisking.
- Simmer mixture, uncovered, until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 5 minutes.
- Add 3/4 cup of corn and simmer mixture 4 minutes.
- Force mixture through a food mill (don't be tempted to use a food processor) fitted with the medium disk set over a bowl and stir in cream and salt and pepper to taste.
- Keep corn chowder warm.
- In a large wok heat oil over high heat until it begins to smoke and stir-fry mussels and bell pepper until coated well with oil, about 30 seconds.
- Cover wok and steam mussels until they begin to open, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in corn chowder and simmer, covered, until more mussels open, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in remaining 3/4 cup of corn and salt and pepper to taste.
- (Do not cook mussels until all are opened, because already-opened mussels will overcook.
- Instead, discard any unopened ones.)
- Ladle chowder into bowls and sprinkle with parsley.
- Serve chowder with bread.
