Thai Fish Chowder
Mirepoix: red onion, carrot. Cod, potato, zucchini, cottage cheese, fish sauce, worcestershire sauce, garlic, curry paste, Thai basil, dried basil, coconut milk, lemon thyme, lemon juice, sugar.
Maybe should have put some flour in to thicken, but I’m hoping that when it’s reheated tomorrow the potatoes will break down. That would be nice.

Potato Fish Meshuganah Soup
Onion sweated in ghee, gefilte fish, potato, matzo, garlic scape, egg, black pepper, paprika, lemon juice, sugar.
Gather round ye Israelites and gentiles, Martin has made another another scrumpy soup. Although as he notes, gefilte fish was enjoyed through the Balkans and central Europe as a soup of celebration.
The fish cakes and potatoes melted into the broth just like the face of that Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Catfish Stew
Mirepoix: yellow onion, green and red bell pepper, poblana pepper, carrot. Catfish, Brussels sprouts, morel mushrooms, apricot jam, strawberry jam, paprika, worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, lime juice.
I didn’t have the luxury to fry the catfish properly as any Cajun would, so my bad. But it turned out pretty good–got kudos from another volunteer and some clients.
As I think I’ve mentioned before, sometimes we get unexpected donations. This time it was a huge box of morels. The heaven’s light shone through.
