CRAB SALAD IN ENDIVE LEAVES



Crab Salad in Endive Leaves image

I saw the lovely Giada de La make this on The Food Network last week, and HAD to do this for guests for lunch. Followed the recipe as written, except - as a Chesapeake Bay seafood lover, HAD to add a sprinkle of Phillips Seafood Seasoning. (NOT Old Bay --too salty!) Served with Recipe #137331 - Greek-Style Oven-Baked Lemon Parmesan Potatoes, by Kittencal. All were suitably impressed! Super simple, too !

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups peeled, chopped celery
Coarse salt
4 large Belgian endives
2 pounds jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through for shells
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large tomatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
5 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons cognac
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Place a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Halve tomatoes and squeeze, cut-side down, over strainer. Using your fingers, scoop out seeds and any remaining juices from tomato into the strainer. You should have about 1/4 cup of "tomato water" in the bowl. Discard solids.
  • Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, cognac, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, parsley, chives, and tarragon to bowl with "tomato water"; mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • Make the salad: Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add celery and cook, stirring, until celery is still crunchy but no longer raw, about 2 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt; transfer celery to a large bowl to cool.
  • Trim 1/4 inch from the stem of each endive. Remove large outer leaves and halve each lengthwise. Slice halves crosswise into small strips and add to bowl with celery. Separate small inner leaves of endive and reserve.
  • Add crabmeat and dressing to bowl with celery and endive; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; gently fold to combine. Spoon salad onto the ends of the reserved endive leaves and serve.

ENDIVE LEAVES WITH CRAB RILLETTES



Endive Leaves With Crab Rillettes image

Canned lump crabmeat is transformed in these light, slightly spicy rillettes. I have been pleased with the canned lump crabmeat I have been finding lately at Trader Joe's. It is fresh and perfect for both crab cakes and for these light, slightly spicy rillettes, which I serve on endive leaves. You can also stuff cherry tomatoes with the rillettes, or mini bell peppers, or just serve them on croutons or crackers. You have a choice here of using a combination of Greek yogurt and crème fraîche, or all Greek yogurt. In the spirit of rillettes, which would be much fattier than these if they were more authentic, I vote for the yogurt/crème fraîche combo, but if you want to keep calories down use all yogurt.

Categories     dinner, lunch, dips and spreads, main course

Time 20m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces lump crabmeat
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons crème fraîche (or omit and use 4 tablespoons yogurt)
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (to taste)
1 to 2 tablespoons minced chives (to taste)
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped mint (to taste)
1 serrano pepper, finely chopped
Salt to taste
4 endives

Steps:

  • Drain crabmeat and place in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork. Add olive oil, yogurt and crème fraîche and mash together until mixture is spreadable. Add lime juice, chives, mint and chile and work in. Season to taste with salt. You should have about 1 1/3 cups.
  • Break off endive leaves at the base. The easiest way to do this is to cut base away, break off a round of leaves, then keep slicing away the base so that the leaves will easily break off at the bottom. Spoon crab rillettes onto leaves and arrange on a platter. Serve at once, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
