Add 1/4 sweet bell pepper, diced carrot, green onions, parsley, and thyme, and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.

Add 1 to 2 cups of diced pumpkin and cover, letting it cook for about 5 minutes.

Stir in the dashing leaf (or spinach) and mix well, noting that it wilts down significantly.

Pour in 1 can of coconut milk and fill the can with water, adding it to the mixture.

Cover and allow the mixture to come to a boil.

Season with black pepper and about 1/4 of a Maggi cube, adjusting for salt as needed.

Blend the mixture with a hand blender until thick and smooth.

Add the seasoned crab meat and 1 scotch bonnet pepper, placing it in the middle of the mixture.

Allow the dish to come to a boil again and check for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.

Finish with a piece of golden ray butter for extra flavor.
