Castaway Chowder

Country: Clipperton Island
Course: main
Makes: 4 servings



Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ahi tuna, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb russet potatoes, unpeeled
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • Water to cover
  • Salt to taste

Directions:

  1. Put the onions in a pot and add a little salt (the salt will cause the onions to release their natural fluids, which will prevent sticking). Keep stirring until the onions are translucent.
  2. Add the tuna, potatoes and coconut milk. Pour in just enough water to cover.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, adding more water as necessary.
  4. Use a potato masher to mash up some (but not all) of the potatoes, so your chowder will have a little body to it. Salt to taste.
