Fish Chowder



I overbaked some haddock fish the other day, and nobody ate it. I decided to make some fish chowder with it, and it wasn't too bad.  It was comforting and healthy tasting.  The fish flaked into small pieces, so you could appreciate the flavour in spite of it being overcooked.   I added some baby spinach leaves, carrots and leftover potatoes along with a can of coconut milk, water, some turmeric and some basil.  Here's the recipe:

1 can coconut milk
leftover fish cut into bite sized pieces
2 c water
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp turmeric
leftover baby spinach leaves
leftover potatoes
2 med carrots diced
1 onion chopped
3 tbs olive oil
1 tbs butter or margarine

It's a great way to use leftover fish, over baked or otherwise...

Cut fish into bite sized pieces.
Cook onion, carrots in olive oil and butter until onion is tender.  Add fish, cooked potatoes, baby spinach leaves, basil, turmeric, coconut milk, water.  Simmer covered 15 minutes.
