Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons oil; 1 onion, chopped; 1 red bell pepper, chopped; 5 tablespoons tomato paste; salt and pepper; 1/2 teaspoon thyme; 1 teaspoon paprika; 4 cups water (traditional) or 4 cups crab stock (my tweak); 2 cups long grain rice; 2 cups pigeon peas, canned; 4 whole crabs

Servings: persons

3 tablespoons oil
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
5 tablespoons tomato paste
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
4 cups water (traditional) or 4 cups crab stock (my tweak)
2 cups long grain rice
2 cups pigeon peas, canned
4 whole crabs

1
Crack the crab and remove the meat. Carefully pick through the meat to make sure there are no remaining bits of shell.
2
Chop up the vegetables and fry them in the oil until they are soft. Stir in the tomato paste and seasonings, adding a little more oil if you need to. Saute for a few minutes until the flavors are incorporated.
3
Add three cups of water (I used non-traditional crab stock) and bring to a boil. Add the pigeon peas and crab and let boil for five minutes or so.
4
Add the rice (you can also add more water if the mixture looks too dry), return to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Let simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed (about 20 minutes).
