Crab Pilau (braised Rice W/ Crab And Coconut Milk)

I do not believe that we can preach the gospel if we do not preach justification by faith, without works. Nor unless we preach the sovereignty of God in the dispensation of grace. Nor unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable, eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah. Nor do I think we can preach the gospel, unless we base it upon the particular redemption which Christ made for His elect and chosen people. Nor can I comprehend a gospel which lets saints fall away after they are called.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

In a heavy 3- to 4-quart casserole, melt the butter in the oil over
moderate heat.  When the foam subsides, add the onions, garlic, and
the chilies, and stirring frequently, cook for about 5 minutes, until
they are soft but not brown.  Watch carefully for any sign of burning
and regulate the heat accordingly.  Add the curry powder and stir for
2 to 3 minutes, then pour in the rice and continue stirring for a few
minutes more, until the grains become somewhat milky and opaque.  Stir
in the coconut milk, slat, and a few grindings of peper and  bring to a
boil over hgih heat.  Reduce the heat to the lowest  possible point,
cover tightly, and simmer undisturbed for 15 minutes.  Add the crab
meat, chives, and lime juice, stir gently and simmer,  covered, for 5
minutes longer or until most of the liquid has been  absorbed by the
rice and the crab is heated through.  Taste for seasoning, fluff with a
fork and serve the crab pilau at  once, mounded on a heated platter.
