Crab Rice image

Walk into a Gullah restaurant and you're sure to find crab rice on the menu. It's our version of fried rice, and it is the perfect way to use up any leftover rice you may have. Succulent blue crab claw meat is what makes this dish so special. Serve it as a side or as a main dish.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups chicken stock
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, such as Carolina Gold, rinsed to remove the starch

1 large onion, cut into large pieces
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into large pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1 pound blue crab claw meat, picked through to remove any shells
2 generous pinches Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 large tomato, diced (1 cup)
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 white land crabs or 7 black land crabs, cleaned, segmented, fat removed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or 1 tablespoon corn oil
1 large white onions or 1 yellow onion, finely diced
1/2 small green pepper, seeded and finely diced
2 1/2 tablespoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 scotch bonnet peppers, finely chopped with (optional) or 1/2 with out seeds (optional)
1/2 cup tomato paste
5 cups hot water
2 cups parboiled long-grain rice or 2 1/2 cups long-grain rice

Steps:

  • Wash live crabs under the tap using a toothbrush to wash sand from under band and from between toes until completely clean.
  • Turn crab with eyes away,upside down,slipping a blunt knife (a butter knife is ideal) between the shell's seam,push upward to seperate the crab's shell in two.
  • Be careful not to push the knife too far (the gall sac is in the direct path of the knife!).
  • Pull apart.
  • Scoop the fat from both sides of the shell into a bowl using the knife or a spoon.
  • Discard the empty half shell,band,mouth,gills and all other remaining internal organs,leaving behind the toes.
  • Break the two segments in half by holding each half securely and snapping apart.
  • This can also be done by chopping the segment with a cleaver.
  • Wash the toe segments under the tap and put them in the bowl with the fat.
  • This process is to be repeated until each crab is processed.
  • Place a large pot over medium high heat, adding the vegetable/corn oil.
  • Allow the oil to heat until a drop of water sizzles when dripped in the oil.
  • Add onion,green pepper,salt,black pepper,seasoned salt,thyme,scotch bonnet and stir.
  • Saute ingredients until onion is transparent, stirring constantly,about 3 to five minutes.
  • Add crab fat and segments, saute, stirring constantly until fat is liquid, about 7 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste, stir ingredients together for another 5 minutes.
  • Add water.
  • Stir ingredients with the water,taste, adjust salt to taste,bring to a slow simmer.
  • Gently pour rice into pot, stirring slowly to ensure even distribution of the rice in the liquid.
  • Turn heat down to low and cover pot with a tight-fitting lid to prevent steam from escaping. Foil can be used under the lid to prevent the steam escaping.
  • Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until all of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Do not lift lid while cooking.
  • Turn heat off and let rice stand covered for 10-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
  • Fluff and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, buy your ingredients from a local farmers market or grocery store.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the crab and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the crab and vegetables until they are just tender: Overcooking the crab and vegetables will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are tender to the bite.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use for the rice will add flavor to the entire dish. Use a broth that is packed with flavor, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or seafood broth.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the rice absorb all of the flavors from the broth.

Conclusion:

Crab and Rice Primavera is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its combination of fresh crab, vegetables, and flavorful rice, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
