Directions:
- To assemble the matete, in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over a medium heat, and add the oil. Lightly fry the smoked ham hock for about 5 minutes, just to quickly seal and color the outside.
- Remove the meat and set aside.
- To the remaining hot oil, add the scallions, garlic, the claws, and the crab .
- Scoop the contents of each shell, including crab juices, into the saucepan (this is what permeates the dish with that wonderful crab taste).
- Add the parsley, celery leaves, water, thyme, chile, bay leaves, and the fried smoked ham hock.
- Stir the mixture, taking care not to crush the chile.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil and add the rice. Stir again to mix.
- Lower the heat and cover. Simmer slowly until the rice is soft and cooked and all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove the chile.
- To serve, arrange the matete on a large serving platter, taking care to display some crab throughout. Serve hot - the aroma alone will drive you nuts!
