INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the
onions and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8
minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic, cumin, and paprika and
cook for 2 minutes more, until the aroma is released. Add the
tomatoes, pimentos, bay leaf, vinegar, Tabasco, sherry, clam juice
and salt to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally,
for about 10 minutes or until thickened and saucy. Add the crab meat
and cook for another 6 minutes, then remove from the heat and taste
for seasoning. Cover and set aside at the back of the stove while you
cook the cornmeal. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the cornmeal,
water, oil, and salt. Mix together well and place the pan over
medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat
and cover the pan. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes over very low heat,
removing the lid to thoroughly stir the mixture every 2 or 3 minutes.
When the cornmeal has thickened, season it generously with pepper.
Remove the bay leaf from the sauce and gently reheat it if necessary.
Ladle the cornmeal into shallow heated bowls and top with a generous
ladleful of the crab sauce. Or if desired, mix the two together
thoroughly before serving. This recipe yields 6 servings.
