Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 to 14 sweet mini peppers
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 ounces flavored cream cheese (such as scallion, chive and onion or garlic and herb), at room temperature
8 ounces fresh lump or jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Cut the peppers lengthwise and remove the stems, seeds and ribs. If needed, trim a small amount off the bottom of each pepper half so that it will lie flat when cut-side up (making them steady is important so the filling stays intact during baking). Chop the trimmings into small pieces and set aside.
  • Toss the pepper halves in a medium bowl with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Set aside.
  • Stir together the softened cream cheese and reserved pepper trimmings in another medium bowl until smooth. Gently fold in the crabmeat and season with salt and pepper.
  • Fill each pepper half with about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture so it comes over the top of the pepper slightly. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the filling is beginning to brown, about 18 minutes. Serve warm.

CRAB STUFFED PEPPERS RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Crab Stuffed Peppers Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-25087

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 serrano peppers
1 small sweet onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
8 ounces crab meat, shredded
5 ounces goat cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Panko
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon dried basil
4 large long sweet peppers
1/2 cup fresh chopped basil, divided
4 tablespoons butter
Juice from half a lemon

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a pan to medium heat and add olive oil. 2. Add serranoes and onion and cook about 5 minutes to soften. 3. Add garlic and cook another minute, until fragrant. 4. Cool and put in a mixing bowl. 5. Add crab meat, cheeses, Panko, Old Bay, salt, and about half of the fresh basil. 6. Stir to combine. 7. Heat oven to 350 degrees. 8. Slice each sweet pepper in half lengthwise and scoop out. 9. Stuff each pepper with the crab mixture and sprinkle with dried basil. 10. Set onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. 11. Bake 20-25 minutes. 12. While the peppers are baking, add butter, lemon juice and remaining basil to a small pot. Heat on low until butter melts, stir to combine. 13. Drizzle the Lemon-Basil Butter over the peppers and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers are the most common type of pepper used for stuffing, but you can also use poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, or even jalapeño peppers if you like a little heat. Just be sure to choose peppers that are large enough to hold the stuffing.
  • Cook the peppers properly: Peppers can be roasted, grilled, or boiled before stuffing. Roasting gives them a slightly smoky flavor, while grilling gives them a nice char. Boiling is the quickest and easiest method, but it can make the peppers a little soft.
  • Make sure the stuffing is flavorful: The stuffing is what really makes crab-stuffed peppers special, so be sure to use high-quality ingredients and plenty of seasonings. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 pound of crab meat for every 6 peppers.
  • Don't overstuff the peppers: Overstuffing the peppers can make them difficult to eat and can also cause them to burst open during cooking. Aim to fill the peppers about two-thirds full.
  • Bake the peppers until they are heated through: The peppers should be baked until the stuffing is hot and bubbly and the peppers are tender. This usually takes about 30 minutes, but the cooking time will vary depending on the size of the peppers and the type of pepper used.

Conclusion:

Crab-stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
