This is another traditional Scottish dish where
Partan is a Scots word for 'crab' and a
bree is any liquid in which something edible has been boiled and left to soak. Which makes
Partan Bree a crab soup.
Ingredients:
1 large cooked crab
60g rice
600ml milk
600ml liquid from boiling the crab
125ml single cream
salt and black pepper to taste
finely-chopped
chives
Method:
Remove all the meat from the crab (keep the claw meat separate) then cook the rice in a pan with the milk and crab broth until tender. Liquidize this rice mixture along with the brown meat from the crab.
Add the white (claw) meat and the cream to the liquidized mixture then re-heat. Season with salt and pepper and serve, garnished with freshly-copped chives. (If the soup seems too thick add a little more milk).
