Qari Vakasoso - Coconut Crab
1 large or 2 med. crabs (about 2 c. meat)
1 coconut, halved
1 white onion
1 head nappa cabbage
1 large tomato
1/2 c. unsweetened coconut cream
Boil and remove meat from crab.
Shred cabbage finely and blanch in salted
water; strain. Finely chop onion.
Peel tomato and chop. Grate coconut meat,
taking care to keep shell intact and leave
plenty of coconut in the shell
(extra coconut meat keeps well frozen.)
Put shell aside. Mix crab, onion, tomato,
cabbage, and 2 T. grated coconut.
Place in shell and pour coconut cream on top.
Place the top of the shell on the coconut
half & steam in small saucepan for 15
minutes. Serve in shell.
Excellent for a buffet, it may also be prepared
with any available combination of fish or
shellfish.
Approximatly 4-6 servings as an entree.
More delicious than fruit bat stew!
