How to Make Bahamian Crab N Rice
- Clean and prepare 1 lb of land crabs. (See detailed instructions below)
- Rinse 1 cup of long-grain rice thoroughly under cold water.
- In a large pot, sauté 1 chopped medium onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until softened.
- Add 1 chopped green bell pepper and 1 chopped red bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon of ground thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional). Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in the cleaned crab meat and cook for 5 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly.
- Add 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes, and the rinsed rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the crab rice with a fork and serve hot, alongside steamed Nassau grouper, coleslaw, and fried plantains (recipes for these can be found elsewhere).
