We catch Crabs all summer long and today was one of those cool fall days and Jimmie set out to make his favorite a bisque and what a great job he did.... 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 |
1/4 tsp pepper (fresh ground) |
3/4 cup sherry or marsala wine |
1 lb crab meat (lump crab- blue crab) |
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.
