 Junkanoo Crab Soup Cut up some okra and place in a frying pan with some onion, salt and a little oil. Let this fry under a low flame. Crush most of the okra seeds in the process which should help to get rid of most of the slime. Place your ready cut pasta on the stove to boil. Clean a Crab and save the fat. Keep the the rest of the body to add later. Place the onions, celery and thyme in your pot. Add in the ham and stir. Add the conchs followed by the stew beef and salt beef and stir again. Add the spare ribs and bring all of this to a simmer. Add your seasoned salt to the pot and stir. Add black pepper to taste, three bay leaves, all spice and a half of a goat pepper and stir. Add the tomatoes followed by the crab fat and stir. Add your crabs (legs, biters & backs). Add one lime. Add your okra mix, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, one can of corn, one can of red kidney beans. Mix all of this together with your pasta and then serve. |
