Preparation
Mise en place
- Medium-dice the potatoes.
- Roughly chop the cauliflower and ⅓ of the leeks.
- Mince the garlic.
Make the pangrattato
- In a medium pot, heat 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium-high.
- Add ½ the garlic, the chopped leeks and S&P. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the panko and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until beginning to brown; season with S&P.
- Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pot.
Start the chowder
- In the same pot, heat 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium-high.
- Add the remaining garlic and leeks, and the spices. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until fragrant and beginning to soften.
- Add the cream, demi-glace, 3 cups water (double for 4 portions) and S&P; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and add the potatoes. Cook, stirring often, 8 to 10 min., until the potatoes are partially cooked.
Finish the chowder
- To the pot, add the cauliflower. Cook, stirring often, 6 to 8 min., until the vegetables are tender and the chowder has thickened.
- Add the spinach and cook, 1 to 2 min., until wilted.
- If the chowder seems dry, add ½ cup to 1 cup water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the chowder between your bowls.
- Garnish with the pangrattato. Bon appétit!
