CRAB NEWBURG à LA CROSS CREEK
Crab Newburg was Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings's most celebrated dish, the one on which the Florida author of "The Yearling" claimed laurels as a cook. It is a version of the famous 19th-century lobster recipe popularized at Delmonico's in New York. Making it is an easy business, as much an assemblage as a recipe. You heat crabmeat in an enormous amount of butter, thicken it slightly with flour, thicken it a great deal with cream and eggs and cut the fat (slightly) with spices and booze. The resulting pinkish stew ought to be served with toast points or in a puff-pastry shell, perhaps with rice and absolutely with a green salad with a tart, lemony vinaigrette. Rawlings admits that you might use less cream, or less butter or fewer eggs. "The brandy may be omitted," she cautions, "but never the sherry." You'll want to set everything up well before dinner so that you can work quickly and serve the dish directly from the pan.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy skillet set over medium heat, melt the butter but do not allow it to brown. Add the crabmeat and stir gently. Cook for one minute, then sprinkle flour over the top and stir gently to incorporate. Cook for another minute or so, then add cream slowly, stirring gently, followed by lemon juice. When sauce is smooth and beginning to thicken, add salt, pepper, cloves, paprika and cayenne pepper and stir to combine. Add sherry and stir again.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until they are almost foaming, then add to the hot crab mixture and stir to combine. Add the brandy, garnish with parsley and rush to the table, serving with toast points.

LOBSTER NEWBURG
Steps:
- Into a large kettle of boiling salted water plunge the lobsters, head first, and boil them, covered, for 8 minutes from the time the water returns to a boil. Transfer the lobsters with tongs to a cutting board and let them cool until they can be handled. Break off the claws at the body and crack them. Remove the claw meat and cut it into 1/2-inch pieces. Halve the lobsters length-wise along the undersides, remove the meat from the tails, discarding the bodies, and cut it into 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a heavy saucepan cook the lobster meat in the butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of the Sherry and 3 tablespoons of the brandy, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes. Transfer the lobster meat with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add the cream to the Sherry mixture and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 1 cup. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon Sherry, the remaining 1 teaspoon brandy, the nutmeg, the cayenne, and salt to taste. Whisk in the yolks, cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it registers 140°F. on a deep-fat thermometer, and cook it, whisking, for 3 minutes more. Stir in the lobster meat and serve the lobster Newburg over the toast.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh lobster or crab meat. If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Be careful not to overcook the seafood. Lobster and crab meat should be cooked just until it is opaque and tender.
- Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc works well.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce for a little bit of heat.
- Serve Lobster Newburg immediately over rice, pasta, or toast.
