How To Make chuck's "fishy sauce"

  • Step 1
    Strip outer portion of leek, wash well, slice in half lengthwise.
  • Step 2
    Heat the leeks and onions in butter "until transparent", don't brown.
  • Step 3
    Add potatoes and chicken stock, heat to boiling, then reduce to simmer. Cook uncovered until potato pieces are tender, about 30 minutes or so.
  • Step 4
    Puree the whole mess in a blender. Run through sieve, or old stocking if so inclined.
  • Step 5
    Add cream (Arf-n-arf) and tabasco, stir well.
  • Step 6
    Chill well.
  • Step 7
    Stir in yogurt just before serving. Float some chives on top.

    On M/S FANTASY, they cut a thin (about a pencil width) asparagus tip into pieces about 3/8" long. Stir into the "fishy sauce". Tasted great.
