'Kachumbari' is to the Swahili Coast what 'salsa' is to Central America and the Caribbean. You could call it the original salsa. And if you want to be a food snob you could call this recipe Swahili Fusion or Alaskan Fusion. Or, if you want to be a super pretentious nerd you can coin a name like Afrilaskan Cuisine. Blue Crabs or Snow Crabs can be substituted for the Alaskan Crab. And if you want the real deal authenticity of Zanzibar and the Spice Islands you can source yourself out some Mangrove Crabs.
1 lb. crab meat, claws reserved for garnish
Small bunch of chives, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tomatoes, seeded, fine diced
1 cucumber, seeded, fine diced
2 bell peppers, fine diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 pili pili pepper (sub. cayenne)
Salt & pepper to taste
Mix everything but the crab. Put crab meat into chilled martini glasses and top with kachumbari. Garnish with crab claws.
