Crab cakes, crab meat sushi, crab salad (on it’s own, in a sourdough roll), crab meat on a pasta sauce…. Add the torta to the list. What yummy variations on a theme.

How about rellenong crab in it’s shell? Is the recipe is the same as torta only that it’s deep fried? Can recycle leftover steamed crab this way too.

We were never lucky to have left-over crabs. They would always be wiped out! So my mom would make them from scratch, that is, she would buy crabs just to make crab omelet – my absolute fav!

The old-fashioned (da best)way to make Torta: Line a plate with a round-piece of banana leaf; spread filling up to about an inch off the edge of the leaf; then slide the leaf-and-filling onto a lightly buttered or oiled kawali. Cook over medium heat. When done, slide back leaf-and-filling onto plate, top with another round of banana leaf; cover with another plate; flip plates; remove top plate and seared banana leaf; then slide the new leaf-and-filling onto pan. Cook until done. Torta cooked this way is fragrant, subtly smoky from the seared banana leaf.
