2 or 3 spider crabs alive or already cooked (they can also be crab)
1 glass of tomato sauce (or fried tomato)
½ glass white wine (I put cava, I had no wine)

2 grated carrots
3 grated tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic

1 leek
Water

Preparation

We begin the preparation of this rich recipe, cooking the spider crabs in the way they are usually cooked, in water and coarse salt.
If you already have the crabs cooked, and at room temperature, it is time to clean them and remove the gills and whiskers (this is waste).
Then, remove the legs, empty the inside of the spider crab and place it in a bowl, also the coral and all its juice, pour this into another bowl.
Remove the pulp from the body with the help of a toothpick or skewer (make sure there are no hard parts left) and then pour it into the bowl along with the leg meat. Reserve.
On the other hand, wash the shells of the spider crabs well with the help of a brush and reserve for later filling them.
To continue, in the glass of the thermomix pour the onions and the leeks in pieces together with the garlic, program.
5 seconds / Speed 5.
With the help of the spatula, lower the remains that have adhered to the walls of the Thermomix bowl, then incorporate the grated tomatoes and carrot, also add a little oil and a little fine salt, program.
12 minutes / Varoma temperature / Speed 1.
Then, add the glass of tomato sauce (or fried tomato), the wine, the brandy and program.
9 minutes / Varoma temperature / Speed 1.
Remove the beaker to let the alcohol evaporate and place the basket on the lid to prevent splashing.
Preheat the oven with a grill at 200º.
Subsequently, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs and a teaspoon of chopped parsley to the contents of the glass, and program
30 seconds / Speed 2.
Once all the ingredients have been mixed, add the meat and the liquid from the spider crabs and program.
2 minutes / Speed 1.
Fill the shells with the contents of the Thermomix bowl, cover them with the breadcrumbs and place a few pieces of butter on top.
Gratin in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes, until a crisp, golden coating forms. The time will depend on each oven and the size of the spider crabs.
