BROKEN CRAB AND OKRA STEW

Broken Crab and Okra Stew image

This recipe came from GULLAH HOME COOKING THE DAUFUSKIE WAY by SALLIE ANN ROBINSON. This recipe is just okra and tomatoes with crabs added. It can be served with rice,cornbread or grits, those of you who know grits. But remember you will need your God-given tools for eating the crabs. This is great at fish fries, instead of catfish stew, use this recipe.

Time 1h

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 -6 raw blue crabs
2 -3 slices pork fatback, bacon strips (or use bacon)
1 medium onion, cut into wedges (I like to chop my onions so that onions are throughout the dish)
1 1/2 cups water
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (optional)
salt and pepper
2 cups cut okra

Steps:

Pour boiling water over crabs to stun them to prevent them pinching you.
"Debark" and clean them (remove the top shell and gills), break in half.
If you wish, remove legs and back fins.
Fry the bacon in a large skillet, add crab pieces, onons, water, and if using, stewed tomatoes.
Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer 15 minutes.
Add okra and boil gently, stirring often, 15 to 20 minutes- or simmer until the okra is tender but the crab is still firm.

This stuff is wonderful, ya'll! I found a crab stew recipe in a local church cookbook and spiced it up and made it my own. It seems like a long process with a lot of ingredients, but really it's not. I hope ya'll enjoy it, we sure do.

Categories Stew Crab

Yield serves 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups half-and-half
2 Knorr fish-flavor bouillon cubes
1 pound crabmeat, picked free of any broken shells
1/4 cup sherry
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
One 8-ounce bottle clam juice (optional)
Grated Parmesan and snipped chives, for garnish

Steps:

Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, stirring to blend it in, then add the garlic. Gradually add the cream and half-and-half, stirring constantly. Add the bouillon cubes and stir well. As the mixture begins to thicken, add the crabmeat, then the sherry and pepper. If the stew seems too thick, thin it with clam juice, which will also add a lot of flavor. Serve in a mug, garnished with grated Parmesan and snipped chives.
