Categories     Crab

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
14 ounces chicken stock (homemade would be best)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups cream (heavy)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper (fresh ground)
3/4 cup sherry wine or 3/4 cup marsala wine
1 lb crabmeat (lump crab- blue crab)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium sized pot (non stick), add flour, salt and pepper - as though you were making a rue (blonde rue). Allow flour to melt into the butter and stir constantly until the flour is a blonde rue.
  • Combine rue with Tomato Paste and slowly add the chicken stock whisking as you go. Once this has come to a moderate heat add marsala and cream - not together or you will cruddle - if you want a dryer taste use a dry sherry instead.
  • Finally add your star ingredient - Crab and allow to come full heat slowly and serve with a wedge of crusty bread and salad for a full meal or just by itself for a great intro to a wonderful dinner.
