If your pan isn\u2019t very large, cook the crabs one or two at a time. Make sure the water comes fully to the boil before adding the next crab. A perfectly dressed crab is a thing of beauty. It is simple these days to buy them from good fishmongers, but for me, the process of cracking open a just-cooked crab, with all its sea-fresh juices, and picking out the hard-to-get white meat, somehow makes the end result all the sweeter.<\/p>\n

A prize for all the hard work. 1. Put the crabs in the freezer for 15 minutes. Bring a very large pan of water to the boil and drop in the crabs. Cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from the water and set aside to cool. 2. Twist the claws and legs off the bodies and set aside for now. Put each crab on its back. Hold the edges of the shell with your fingers and then use your thumbs to push on where the leg section joins the body and lever the body away from the leg.<\/p>\n

3. Pull off the feathery soft dead man\u2019s fingers sticking out from the body. Scoop out the bony, gloopy bits from behind the eyes and discard. 4. Scrape out all the brown meat from the sides of the shell into a bowl and set aside. Use the back of a heavy knife or hammer to crack open the claws so that you can remove all of the juicy meat. Make sure you break open the knuckles and legs to get every last bit.<\/p>\n

5. Cut the body section in half and use a skewer or lobster pick to pick out all the sweet white meat from the many compartments. Wash and dry the shells. 6. Mix the brown crabmeat with the breadcrumbs and Tabasco and spoon into the sides of each shell. Mix the white meat with the lemon juice, mayonnaise and mace and spoon into the centre of the shells.<\/p>\n

| adore leftovers. A fridge full of bits and bobs, small bowls of saved deliciousness, ready to be turned into something wonderful. The hard work has been done; now you can reap the rewards. The sad thing is that, as a word, \u2018leftovers\u2019 sounds so humble and unloved. It tends not to be a word to excite passion and get the heart racing. It speaks of dishes made out of desperation, of can’t-quite-be-bothered-ness and of reheating tired ingredients from the day before.<\/p>\n

Once you realize the full potential, the freedom and fun you can have with a little left over from a wonderful meal, how you cook will be revolutionized. The way we shop has a lot to do with why people are not embracing leftovers. Shopping to cook a different meal every night of the week not only risks ingredients sitting in your fridge unused until they perish, but also that when you have leftovers they end up being thrown away, ironically because you have something planned for the next day that you don\u2019t want to waste.<\/p>\n

The Batch but Better way of cooking is thrifty, flexible and good for the bank balance, the planet and your skills as a ready-for- anything cook. We are all busy and it might seem scary not to have fully planned your meals. But once you break away from over-shopping, you will feel such relief that you’ll never go back. Of course, you still need to plan a bit. As much as | love the idea of eternal leftovers, the reality is that, in order to have leftovers, you need to cook.<\/p>\n

For three or four nights of the week, plan to cook something delicious, then experiment with the wonderful leftovers and some fridge raiding for the rest of the week! The key to those days when you open your fridge to investigate what you might have to turn into something tasty for supper does rely on one thing. The store cupboard. People bang on about store cupboard suppers, and then they ask you to have all manner of weird and wonderful ingredients that, in reality, you may never have unless you either love them or buy them specially.<\/p>\n

Fridge-raid cooking produces some of my most creative and wonderful dishes, almost entirely by a mix of happy accident and necessity. | hope you will love this book as much as | enjoyed writing it and be inspired to discover your own leftover favourites. re) Se Shi pi! 6 Gatch Cat Getter STORE + FRIDGE This is not an exhaustive list of all the useful things you can have in your cupboard and fridge to help change the way you cook, but it is a good place to start.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
