Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brodo

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Crab and Stock

    Add the cleaned green crab to the pot, and stir for another minute. Pour in the fish stock or water, and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Let the brodo simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  4. 4

    Cook the Squash

    While the brodo is simmering, slice the heirloom summer squash into thin rounds. In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat and add the squash along with vadouvan spice. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Strain the brodo into a serving bowl, discarding the solids. Add the sautéed squash to the brodo. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
