Difficulty: Easy

As the cooler weather begins to creep in, I’m bummed that all of my winter clothes won’t get much airtime this year, however one thing keeping me in a posi mood is dreaming up easy winter recipes.

When my buds at Nature’s Charm asked me to manifest one of those dreams into a recipe using their Banana Blossom, my mind instantly jumped to a chowder. It couldn’t be any easier to make, tastes great and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegan butter or margarine
  • 1 brown onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 6 small potatoes, diced
  • 1 can corn kernels
  • 4 cups chicken-style or vegetable stock
  • 2 cans Nature’s Charm Banana Blossom in Brine, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Nature’s Charm Evaporated Coconut Milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley to serve

Method

  1. Pop the vegan butter in a large pot and melt over high heat before adding the onion and garlic.
  2. Cook for a few minutes before adding the flour. Stir well to combine and then add the celery, carrots, potatoes, corn kernels and stock.
  3. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally. The broth should thicken as it cooks.
  4. After about 20 minutes, add the Nature’s Charm Banana Blossom and stir through before adding the Nature’s Charm Evaporated Coconut Milk.
  5. Stir and cook for a further 5-10 minutes before serving with salt, pepper and fresh parsley.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have two tins of banana blossoms in my cupboard (thanks to Cruelty Free Mystery Boxes) and absolutely zero desire to try and deep fry them into fish and chips. I love that this is a fun option for me! I assume I could use cashew cream instead of the evaporated coconut milk. As soon as it is cool enough in Brisbane to think about stews (please Brisbane, let go of the heat), I will crack open a tin and make this!

Yay, thanks Susan! You can absolutely use any cream of your choosing, something with a bit of thickness to it works best.

If you’re looking for some extra fishiness, you could also add some seaweed flakes!
