Broiled Mud Crab in Black Bean Sauce
Chef: Barry Clarke


Degree of difficulty: Low
Cooking time: 15-18 minutes


You need:
1 Green Mud Crab
2 Cups White Wine
Butter
1 Chopped Spanish Onion
1 2" Piece Fresh Ginger, Peeled and Grated
Black Bean Sauce or Black Bean and Ginger Sauce
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Heavy Duty Aluminium Foil

Method:
Place the mudcrab into the freezer to euthanise it, then remove the carapace, and clean under running water, removing the "fingers" and all entrails.
Crack the main claws, and divide the crab into several pieces.
Take 2 pices of foil about 750 mm long, and place on top of each other. fold foil into a bath-like shape.
Place crab pieces into the dished foil and pour in the white wine.
Place 1 tablespoon of butter onto the crab pieces, the grated ginger, and a liberal dash of black bean sauce, and top with the spanish onion.
Fold the foil over to form a seal, and place onto a hot barbeque plate and cook 15-18 minutes.

Serving suggestion:
Cool the crab on a serving plate and pour the juices over.

Wine suggestion:
Chilled Semillon
