Cooking directions.
1 Cut both ends of each okra and slice them in small dices. Mince the 3 scallions, including the green tops. Wash the spinach very well. Remove the stems: we will only use the green leaves. Mince the two garlic cloves. Squeeze the juice out of the 3 limes in a small container..Slice the 1/2 lb of bacon into 1/4 inch dices.
2 In a large frypan, heat slightly the peanut oil. Add the 2 lbs of crab meat with the scallion in the frypan. Add the crumbled thyme or the 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme. Fry the crab meat until brown. Brown the bacon in a cooking pot to get the fat. Add the spinach in the bacon fat and heat it until it becomes limp. Add the okra together with the water.
3 Sprinkle the black pepper and add salt to the mixture. Cook everything in the pot for twenty minutes. Don't cover. Instead, Use a whisk to stirr the okra while it's cooking.
4 When the okra is done, add the crab meat in the pot. Add the pricked chili and the remaining garlic. Reduce the heat to low and let the cooking go for 20 minutes. Occasionally stirr with a wooden spoon. When the content in the pot is well done to your taste, add the lime juice. Stirr gently with whisk or wooden spoon.
Serve this delicious pot hot. The amount of each ingredients used in this island recipe makes a meal for four to six persons.
Enjoy.
