How to Make Crabmeat Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 cup lump crabmeat. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring gently.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and 1/2 cup clam juice. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Increase heat to high and cook, stirring frequently, until the wine has reduced by half (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Add one (14.5 ounce) can of plum tomatoes, undrained.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the crabmeat is well incorporated.
  8. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with extra parsley before serving.
