Directions: |
Directions:Dice bacon in small pieces and fry. Drain grease and allow to dry out on paper towel. Add bacon to tomato sauce and 1 1/2 cans of water. Simmer on low in large oversized pot.
Chop celery, onions, bell pepper and carrots into 1/2 inch lengths. In another pot, just cover the vegetables with water and simmer until tender. While vegetables are cooking, peel and dice potatoes in small pieces. Cook potatoes separately in another pot on low.
Next, add clams and juice to tomato and bacon mixture and stir. This is when you add your seasoning. Add salt and pepper to your desired taste. Dice datil peppers (3 to start - add more if not hot enough), sugar to taste and a splash of Kitchen Bouquet for color.
Drain vegetables and add to this mixture. Bring to a simmer on low heat. Do not drain potatoes. Add potatoes and liquid. (the stock will help to season), stir and then add 1-2 tbsp of cornstarch to thicken. Stir completely until thickened (not too thick) and turn off heat. |
