INSTRUCTIONS
- Boil a kettle. Put the saffron threads into a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to infuse.
- Trim the leeks, discarding the tougher green end and the outer leaf. Finely slice and rinse under running water
- Wash and dice the potatoes.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the leeks and cook over a low heat for about 5 minutes until soft but not browned, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the pan.
- Add the potatoes and cook for a further couple of minutes.
- Pour in the milk, stock and saffron threads, with the infusing liquid, and bring to the boil, making sure it doesn’t boil over.
- Turn the heat right down and simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the smoked haddock and simmer for another 5 minutes. The fish should have become opaque and easy to flake.
- Wash the chives, snip them over the chowder and stir in.
- Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
