Tobago's Crab and Dumplings

For recipes, visit

On Trinidad's sister Island Tobago, everyone's essential beach treat is crab and dumplings, and Miss Trim's is the place to indulge. Here's we find a plate of curried crab atop a large, flat, oblong dumpling that is there to sop up some of the curry. It's a perfect Creole dish: the curry is Indian, the crab comes from local waters, and the dense flour dumpling adds the African touch. Chef Debra Sardinha-Metivier demonstrates how to make crab and dumplings in her kitchen.
