CURRIED CREAM OF CRAB SOUP
Received in am email - created by David Jarrett. Like the sound of this variation of classic crab soup (something we love here) - the milk rather than cream will lighten it up a bit & the curry provides a nice complement to the crab. Of course we'll be using our "home grown" blue crab (- the best in the world IMAO LOL!) so I will be stashing this recipe to try later in the year when our own crabs are plentiful & heavy (so the picking won't be so arduous). A fresh green salad and crusty bread together with the soup makes a nice meal. Thanks David.

Steps:
- 5 Tbs. butter.
- 4 Tbs flour.
- 1 medium onion peeled and chopped.
- 3 stalks of celery chopped.
- 1 1/2 Tbs mild yellow curry powder.
- 1 Tbs dried minced shallots or 2 Tbs fresh shallots peeled and minced.

- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock.

- 1 lb fresh crab meat (preferably half shreds and half lump or claw meat).

- Meanwhile heat the cream, milk and stock in another pan. If using dried shallots add them to to the liquid and bring to a low simmer. Do not let it come to a full boil or it may curdle.
- Pour the hot liquid into the roux slowly stirring constantly as you pour. Raise the heat to medium and continue to stir while it thickens and comes to a simmer. Again do not boil. Simmer 10 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and crab meat meat and continue to heat and stir until it again is simmering. Taste and add salt and pepper if you think it needs it.

CURRIED CRAB WITH COCONUT AND CHILI
Steps:
- Place the crab in the freezer for 2 hours or until it stops moving. Remove the legs and crack them with a rolling pin. Remove the top of the shell and clean out the insides with your fingers. Chop the crab and top shells in half.
- Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and peppercorns and stir constantly until the seeds become toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Cool completely.
- To make the paste, grind the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and peppercorns with a pinch of salt using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Transfer the spice mixture to a food processor and add the vinegar, coconut, ginger, garlic, chile and onions and blend to form a paste.
- Heat the oil in a heavy, large, wide pot over low heat. Add the paste and saute until fragrant and some of the juices evaporate, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the tomato, curry leaves, turmeric, chili powder and a pinch of salt and cook until the tomato pieces are tender and melting into the sauce, 5 minutes. Add the crab and 4 1/2 ounces water, increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer or until the crab pieces are cooked through, 10 minutes. Mix in the coconut milk and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Divide the crab pieces and sauce among shallow wide soup plates and serve immediately.
