Description

This is not much of a “recipe” but a great guide on cooking crab, or what we like to call “Christmas Crab” since we always have this at Christmastime and it is full of green and red color. Served with French bread for soaking up the great juice and a large green salad, it is the perfect dinner in my opinion!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick Butter
  • 1 whole Yellow Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 bottle (750ml Bottle) Dry White Wine
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
  • 4 whole Lemons, Sliced In Half
  • ½ cups Flat-leaf Parsley, Finely Chopped
  • 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 4 whole Large Dungeness Crab Already Cooked
  • Kosher Salt And Black Pepper To Taste

Preparation

In a large pot, melt the butter and add the onion. Sprinkle with kosher salt and let cook until tender and golden.

Add the wine and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the wine has reduced. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the crab) and simmer until everything is soft, another 5-8 minutes. Season with Kosher salt and black pepper.

Add the crab and put a lid on the pot. Let everything steam together for about 5 minutes or until the crab is hot.

Stir around the pot and then gently put the contents on a large platter (more like a large bowl to catch the juice). Serve the platter with French bread, freshly sliced lemons and melted butter for those who need even more buttery goodness.
