Crab in Coconut Milk (Alimango Sa Gata) image

With a little touch of creativity and a lot of inspiration from the wonderful memories of my mother's delicious home-cooked meals, I came up with even better variations of Filipino dishes that I used to enjoy back home. Here is an example.

Categories     Crab

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large dungeness crab (cleaned, shell intact)
1 tablespoon peeled and julienned gingerroot
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk lemongrass, stalk pounded white part only (about 4 cm)
1 teaspoon curry powder (mild or hot depending on your preference) or 1 teaspoon curry paste (mild or hot depending on your preference)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 cups thick coconut milk (unfortunately the light coconut milk doesn't go very well with this recipe)
2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup green bell pepper, strips
1/2 cup julienned carrot
1/4 cup chopped celery

Steps:

  • In a large casserole over high heat, sauté the ginger, onion, garlic and lemon grass in oil.
  • Add the crab, season with salt, pepper and vinegar. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until it changes colour.
  • Remove crab and cut in 4 equal pieces, put it back in the casserole, then pour the coconut milk, stir constantly, then add the oyster sauce and curry powder. Do not cover. Shake the casserole occasionally to distribute the seasoning evenly as well as to avoid the curdling of the coconut milk. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add the bell pepper, carrots, celery, and broccoli, cook for 5 minutes or until crisp.
  • Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve with steamed rice.

I don't like the taste of coconut milk, so I wasn't a fan of this dish.

This recipe is way too spicy for me. I could barely eat it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much coconut milk.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover crab meat. I had some leftover from a crab boil and this was the perfect way to use it up.

I wasn't sure about using coconut milk in a savory dish, but I was pleasantly surprised. The coconut milk added a subtle sweetness that really complemented the crab.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chili peppers.
