CRAB NEWBURG à LA CROSS CREEK



Crab Newburg à la Cross Creek image

Crab Newburg was Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings's most celebrated dish, the one on which the Florida author of "The Yearling" claimed laurels as a cook. It is a version of the famous 19th-century lobster recipe popularized at Delmonico's in New York. Making it is an easy business, as much an assemblage as a recipe. You heat crabmeat in an enormous amount of butter, thicken it slightly with flour, thicken it a great deal with cream and eggs and cut the fat (slightly) with spices and booze. The resulting pinkish stew ought to be served with toast points or in a puff-pastry shell, perhaps with rice and absolutely with a green salad with a tart, lemony vinaigrette. Rawlings admits that you might use less cream, or less butter or fewer eggs. "The brandy may be omitted," she cautions, "but never the sherry." You'll want to set everything up well before dinner so that you can work quickly and serve the dish directly from the pan.
