Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 14 oz. chicken stock (homemade would be best)
  • 2 tbsps. tomato paste
  • 2 cups cream (heavy )
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup sherry or marsala wine
  • 1 lb crab meat

Directions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
