Old Bay Boiled Pot
Shoshana Isaacson
Pareve or Meat
Serves 8
A traditional boiled pot is generally made with some type of shellfish and sausage boiled along with vegetables and served in large bowls or dumped out on a common surface. This recipe takes out the treif and makes a completely vegan version with the option to add meat or fish. You will need a very large stock pot for this recipe – 12 to 16 quart capacity.
Ingredients
4 quarts water
1 can / bottle of dark beer
½ cup OLD BAY® Classic Seafood Seasoning
2 tablespoons kosher salt
8 medium red potatoes quartered
2 large onions cut into wedges
8 ears fresh corn shucked and cut into 3 inch wide chunks
Optional ingredients: Either fish or meat (or you can use vegan sausage for a more authentic taste)
4 lbs firm fleshed fish such as Cod or Halibut cut into chunks
OR*
4 lbs lean smoked sausage, cut into chunks
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Bring the water, beer, Old Bay seasoning and salt to a boil in a large stock pot set over high heat or over a hot open fire supported by a grate.
Step 2
Add potatoes and onion chunks. Cook for 8 minutes.
Step 3
Add corn chunks. Cook for another 8 minutes.
Step 4
If using optional ingredients add either the fish OR the sausage (if using vegan sausage you can use both) and cook until the fish is opaque or an additional 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 5
Drain most of the cooking liquid leaving some in the pot for serving.
Step 6
Serve in a large serving bowl or drain completely and pour out onto a paper covered table. Sprinkle with additional Old Bay seasoning if you like. Crusty bread makes a nice side.
Note
Kosher practices do not allow for fish and meat to be cooked or served together. If you would like to use both, you can use a vegan sausage.
