Ingredients

500 g drained pasteurized cooked crab meat
450 g tomatoes
180 g onion
12 g garlic
25 g edible red palm oil
250 ml water
3 g salt
1 g fresh chili
20 ml lemon juice

Preparation

Check the storage conditions and date of the pasteurized crab. Remove any shell fragments, without unnecessarily rinsing the meat.

Sauté the onion in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili, and tomatoes and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the water and salt, then the crab. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes to heat the meat through without breaking it apart.

Add the lemon off the heat and serve hot. This recipe does not describe the preparation of a whole live crab.
