Mélange Crab and Dumplings

Curried Crab and Dumplings is a traditional, if laborious, Trini favorite that features cooked crab backs that must be picked for their meat. Moses Reuben, the chef at Mélange restaurant in Port of Spain, has an elegant take on this dish that pairs succulent chunks of crabmeat with delicate dumplings in a spicy curry sauce that stimulates the appetite for courses to come.
