Crabmeat Martin Recipes

CRABMEAT MARTIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Gently toss the crabmeat with the mustard and green onions in a bowl, being careful not to break up the crabmeat. Divide the mixture between 4 ramekins. Using an electric mixer, whip together the topping ingredients in a mixing bowl and spread the topping on the crabmeat mixture. Bake in the oven until thoroughly heated and the sauce is golden brown and bubbly, about 8 minutes. Serve hot.

SUE'S LUMP CRABMEAT ST. MARTIN

Steps:

• In a 2-quart heavy bottom sauce pan, melt butter over med-high heat.
• Add onions, celery, green onions, and garlic. Saute 3-5 minutes, or until vegetables are wilted. Be careful not to brown vegetables.
• Sprinkle in flour, blending well into mixture.
• Using a wire whip, whisk hot cream into sauce pan stirring constantly until thick cream sauce is achieved.
• Reduce heat to simmer and add white wine, lemon juice and hot sauce.
• Add Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly so mixture will not scorch.
• Season to taste using salt and cayenne pepper.
• Add red bell pepper for color.
• If mixture becomes too thick, add a small amount of whipping cream. Remove from heat, and gently fold in lump crabmeat.
• Place in souffle ramekins, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve with garlic croutons.

CRAB COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Put the fennel in a large bowl of ice-cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice. Leave for at least 30 mins to crisp up. Drizzle more lemon juice on the avocados to stop them browning. Whisk together all the ingredients for the Marie Rose sauce in a bowl with seasoning. Set aside to chill in the fridge.
• Just before serving, drain the fennel and toss with the remaining lemon juice, dill and some seasoning. Layer the lettuce, avocado, fennel and crab in 4 x half-pint glasses - or tumblers or jam jars. Add a spoonful of sauce to each, then repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with the Marie Rose sauce. Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper over each cocktail and serve with lemon wedges and toast, if you like.
