Penclawdd cockle chowder

Ingredients

  • 225g/8oz (shelled weight) Penclawdd cockles, cooked

  • 2 thick rashers smoked dry-cured streaky bacon

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 4 medium potatoes (waxy, eg Charlotte), cooked, peeled and diced

  • salt

  • freshly ground black pepper

  • fresh parsley, chopped

  • 290ml/½ pint each fish stock and milk (or all milk)

  • 30g/1oz Welsh butter

Preparation method

  1. In a heavy pan, fry the onion and bacon in butter until soft.

  2. Add the potato and liquids and bring to simmering point for about 15 minutes at a low heat.

  3. Add the cockles and heat through. Do not boil as this will toughen the cockles. Season to taste and finish with the parsley.
