AVOCADO AND CRAB THERMIDOR (EASY MICROWAVE FIX)



Avocado and Crab Thermidor (Easy Microwave Fix) image

This is recipe #4 from *Microwave Cooking* by Lorna Rhodes & another that gets high marks from me because of my particular fondness for its ingredients & versatility. I modified the recipe slightly w/the addition of Old Bay as I favor using it w/crabmeat. This recipe works well 2 ways: 1) As a starter or a salad course atop a bed of lettuce to serve 8 ... or ... 2) As a main entrée for a luncheon or dinner meal to serve 4. *Enjoy* !

AVOCADO AND CRAB MEAT MOUSSE



Avocado And Crab Meat Mousse image

Provided by Craig Claiborne And Pierre Franey

Categories     pastas, salads and dressings, appetizer

Time 25m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 unblemished, ripe avocados, about 2 pounds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 envelope plain, unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 pound lump crab meat
2 teaspoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
Tarragon leaves for garnish, optional
Tarragon sauce (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Split the avocados in half and remove and discard the pits. Cut away and discard the skins. Cut the flesh into cubes and put them in a bowl. Add the lemon juice and stir to coat the pieces so that they do not discolor. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and vinegar. When the gelatin is softened, scrape it onto the avocado.
  • Put the avocado mixture and mayonnaise into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend thoroughly. There should be about three cups.
  • Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl and add the salt, pepper, Tabasco sauce, mustard and anchovy paste. Blend thoroughly.
  • Pick over the crab meat gently and carefully to remove all trace of shell and cartilage. Leave the lumps as large as possible. Add them to the avocado mixture and fold the crab meat in thoroughly.
  • Brush a five-cup ring or decorative mold lightly on the inside with oil. Wipe out any excess oil.
  • Pour and scrape the avocado and crab mixture into the mold. Smooth over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Unmold and garnish the top, if desired, with a few tarragon leaves. Serve with tarragon sauce (see recipe).

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor than unripe avocados. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. It should yield to gentle pressure.
  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than frozen crab meat. If you are using frozen crab meat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before using.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The white wine you use will add flavor to the sauce, so it is important to use a good quality wine. A dry white wine, such as a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, is a good choice.
  • Do not overcook the crab. Crab meat is delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately. Avocado and crab thermidor is best served immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Avocado and crab thermidor is a quick and easy appetizer or main course that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, flavorful, and elegant. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
