CRAB NEWBURG à LA CROSS CREEK

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter flavor and more tender texture than frozen crab meat.
  • Choose a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, will help to enhance the flavor of the crab.
  • Don't overcook the crab. Crab meat is delicate and can easily become tough if it is overcooked.
  • Serve Crab Newburg immediately. Crab Newburg is best served immediately after it is made, as it will start to lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.
