When exploring the island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, you have a wide variety of local dishes to dive into. However, one iconic dish to Tobago is Curry Crab and Dumplings. Trini's and foreigners, this exceptional dish is sought out because of its incredible flavor and the pleasure of eating while sitting on the beach. The foundation for this dish is seasoning the chunks of whole crabs with a mixture of local green seasoning, curry, and masala powders. They then slowly simmer in a curry and coconut milk sauce to ensure the flavors infuse into every nook, cranny, leg, and claw. Next, our traditional drop dumplings are added to the dish, and they too soak up the delicious gravy that everything is swimming in. This is a hands-on dish, so be ready to get messy, but it's so worth it. This recipe is easy to follow and keeps to the authentic flavors you would expect if it came from one of Tobago's local, beach restaurants. We hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do, and please share it with friends and family as an interactive dish that will make for great conversation and lasting memories.
