Ingredients

  • 600 g Angelakis Marinara Mix
  • 200 g Piece of Barossa Fine Foods Meaty Speck
  • 1 Small Brown Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 Leek (white part) finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 50 g Butter
  • 1 tbsp Plain Flour
  • ½ Cup White Wine
  • 2 Cups Chicken or Fish Stock
  • 2 Cups Milk
  • 600 g White Potatoes
  • ½ Cup Cream

Method

  1. Peel and cut the potatoes into one-centimetre cubes. Set aside.
  2. Remove the rind from the Meaty Speck and cut the speck into one-centimetre cubes. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat and fry the speck until it begins to colour. Reduce the heat slightly, then add the onion, leek and garlic. Cook until soft and fragrant.
  3. Add the butter to the saucepan along with the plain flour. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then add the white wine and cook for a further minute.
  4. Add the chicken or fish stock, milk and the cubed potatoes. Allow to simmer for 15–20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, add the marinara mix and gently stir in the cream. Allow to simmer for a few minutes until the seafood is cooked through.
  6. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Serve with crusty bread and garnish with chopped parsley.
