Renes Pickled Crab Recipes

CALIFORNIA ROLL BOWLS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, soy, sesame oil and 2 teaspoons of the rice vinegar until well combined. Fold in the imitation crab, then set aside.
• Divide the rice between two serving bowls, adding 1 teaspoon rice vinegar to each. Stir to mix the vinegar into the rice.
• Place the dressed imitation crab into the bowls, followed by the cucumber, carrot, seaweed snacks, onions and pickled ginger. Garnish with the sesame seeds and scallions, then serve.

FRESH CRAB NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth. Gently stir in the crabmeat, scallions, chiles, lime zest, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper and set aside.
• Distribute half of the corn chips on a large (12 × 18 × 2-inch) ovenproof serving platter (or a sheet pan). Spoon half of the crab mixture over the chips in dollops and then sprinkle with half of the Cheddar, half of the Monterey Jack, and all of the pickled jalapeños. Sprinkle with the remaining chips, then distribute the remaining crab mixture and cheeses on top. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Meanwhile, prepare the topping. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, olive oil, avocado, parsley, and 1 teaspoon salt. Spoon onto the nachos, sprinkle with lime juice, and serve hot.

PICKLED CRAB APPLES

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, sugar, cloves and cinnamon in a large stainless-steelpan. Bring to a boil over high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, add the apples, and cook until barely done, about 5-6 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, pack the apples into clean, dry jars with sealable lids. Laddle in the hot syrup to within 1/2 inch of the jar rims and cover.
• Store jars in a cool, dark place.
