Ingredients

For the casserole

½ cup finely chopped bell pepper
½ cup chopped pimientos
1 cup finely chopped celery
1½ cups sharp cheese, coarsely grated
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. sherry

For the curried rice

Instructions

In a bowl, season the thick white sauce with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and sherry for an added depth of flavor.
Combine all casserole ingredients (crab meat, bell pepper, pimientos, celery, and cheese) or arrange them in layers in a casserole dish. Reserve ½ cup of cheese for topping later.
Sprinkle paprika over the top for that beautiful color and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 1 hour.
While the casserole bakes, prepare the curried rice by mixing the rice, chicken stock, curry powder, and a pinch of salt in a pot. Steam or cook according to rice package instructions (usually around 20 minutes), ensuring the rice is fluffy and flavorful.
Once the casserole is done, cut it into portions and serve with the curried rice in shallow soup bowls.
