CRAB 'N RICE (THE BAHAMAS)
This recipe Is from week 19 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and The Bahamas are my 19th stop. Crab 'n rice is a favorite meal in the Bahamas; it is traditionally made with land crabs, but sea crabs are an almost indistinguishable substitution.

Steps:
- Crack the crab and remove the meat. Carefully pick through the meat to make sure there are no remaining bits of shell.
- Chop up the vegetables and fry them in the oil until they are soft. Stir in the tomato paste and seasonings, adding a little more oil if you need to. Saute for a few minutes until the flavors are incorporated.
- Add three cups of water (I used non-traditional crab stock) and bring to a boil. Add the pigeon peas and crab and let boil for five minutes or so.
- Add the rice (you can also add more water if the mixture looks too dry), return to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Let simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed (about 20 minutes).
BAHAMIAN CRAB N' RICE
Everyone whose ever heard about the Bahamas thinks about conch. We were once called the conch isles. However, it is little known fact that conch is the most perennial dish, not the the national dish! The most important part of the national dish of the Bahamas. Eaten almost everyday with Steamed Nassau Grouper,coleslaw and fried plaintain especially between the months of June and August. This recipe will prove challenging for those unfamiliar with how to prepare the land crabs.... but it tastes like manna ... intensely delectable experience for your tastebuds!

Steps:
- Wash live crabs under the tap using a toothbrush to wash sand from under band and from between toes until completely clean.
- Turn crab with eyes away,upside down,slipping a blunt knife (a butter knife is ideal) between the shell's seam,push upward to seperate the crab's shell in two.
- Be careful not to push the knife too far (the gall sac is in the direct path of the knife!).
- Pull apart.
- Scoop the fat from both sides of the shell into a bowl using the knife or a spoon.
- Discard the empty half shell,band,mouth,gills and all other remaining internal organs,leaving behind the toes.
- Break the two segments in half by holding each half securely and snapping apart.
- This can also be done by chopping the segment with a cleaver.
- Wash the toe segments under the tap and put them in the bowl with the fat.
- This process is to be repeated until each crab is processed.
- Place a large pot over medium high heat, adding the vegetable/corn oil.
- Allow the oil to heat until a drop of water sizzles when dripped in the oil.
- Add onion,green pepper,salt,black pepper,seasoned salt,thyme,scotch bonnet and stir.
- Saute ingredients until onion is transparent, stirring constantly,about 3 to five minutes.
- Add crab fat and segments, saute, stirring constantly until fat is liquid, about 7 minutes.
- Add tomato paste, stir ingredients together for another 5 minutes.
- Add water.
- Stir ingredients with the water,taste, adjust salt to taste,bring to a slow simmer.
- Gently pour rice into pot, stirring slowly to ensure even distribution of the rice in the liquid.
- Turn heat down to low and cover pot with a tight-fitting lid to prevent steam from escaping. Foil can be used under the lid to prevent the steam escaping.
- Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until all of the liquid is absorbed.
- Do not lift lid while cooking.
- Turn heat off and let rice stand covered for 10-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
