Lowcountry Crab Rice
Crab rice is a prized dish of the Gullah Geechee people of the Carolina Lowcountry, a region of the United States that is synonymous with seafood. “My kids beg for crab rice all the time,” says Sallie Ann Robinson, a Gullah chef and food historian, “and just like my mother did with us girls, I make them help me pick the crabs. We sit out on the porch or around the kitchen table, spread some newspapers, and go to pickin’. The more hands we’ve got, the sooner we’re ready to cook.” Tender lump crab meat gives you sweetness in every bite of rice, mingling with the zesty lemon and the aromatic flavor of onion and celery. Traditional versions of this recipe often include bacon, but this recipe, from my cookbook “The Simple Art of Rice” (Flatiron Books, 2023) calls for smoky Creole seasoning. Carolina Gold rice is the classic choice for this dish: Because of its high starch content, this fluffy rice sticks to the crab and absorbs all the flavors beautifully.
