CRAB WITH CRISP BITTER GREENS



Crab With Crisp Bitter Greens image

This outstanding dinner salad came to The Times via the British chef and restaurateur April Bloomfield, whose John Dory Oyster Bar in New York sometimes serves a slightly spicy crab salad with arugula and the tender fall chicory known as puntarelle. I swapped out those greens for a mix of endive and chicory, and the Holland chili pepper she uses at the restaurant for a more accessible jalapeño pepper. The result accentuates the sweetness of the crab, and features a fiery slickness beneath it.

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Belgian endive
1 head chicory
3 cups arugula (roughly 3 handfuls)
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup plus 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt, to taste
1 pound crabmeat (approximately 2 cups)
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced (approximately 2 teaspoons)
1 pinch Maldon or other flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Separate the endive leaves, then slice them lengthwise as thinly as you can. Soak the sliced endive in a big bowl of ice water. Meanwhile, remove the outer leaves of the chicory and reserve for another use. Wash four big handfuls of the tender inner chicory leaves. Tear them into bite-size pieces and add to the bowl of ice water. Wash the arugula and add it to the ice water. Set aside for at least 10 minutes, or until ready to use.
  • Make the aioli. Put egg yolk, garlic and 2 tablespoons lemon juice into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Slowly emulsify with 1 cup of the extra-virgin olive oil. If at any point the aioli becomes superglossy or the oil begins to bead, add a drop of ice water, then continue to stream in the oil. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Season crab with 1 tablespoon aioli, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Add diced jalapeño. Set aside.
  • Drain the greens, then spin dry using a salad spinner. Transfer them to a large bowl. Dress with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss thoroughly, and adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Scatter about 1/4 cup of the dressed crabmeat on each plate (a scant 1/4 cup). Place a layer of greens atop the crab and then a little more crab again. Finish each plate with a dollop of aioli on the side and a sprinkle of Maldon or other flaky sea salt on top.

Crunchy crab parcels image

The combination of crispy filo pastry & crabmeat makes this a wonderfully indulgent dish

Provided by John Torode

Categories     Canapes

Time 55m

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small potato , cut into quarters
85g butter
50ml single cream
2 spring onions , plus extra for serving
300g mixed white and brown crabmeat
12 sheets filo pastry

Steps:

  • Boil the potato for 15 mins until soft. Meanwhile, place 25g of the butter and all of the cream in a heavy-based pan and bring to the boil. Slice the spring onions, separating the green and white parts, then add the white slices to the boiling liquid and cook for 1-2 mins to soften. Pass the cooked potato through a ricer or sieve to a really fine mash, then add to the pan and mix everything together. Set aside to cool.
  • Add the crabmeat and sliced green bits of spring onion to the potato mixture and stir together. Melt the remaining butter. Unwrap the filo pastry and cover with a clean, damp tea towel to prevent it drying out. Brush melted butter over one sheet, place another on top and brush again with butter. Then add a final sheet of filo.
  • Cut the filo sheets lengthways into 3 long strips. Then cut each strip in half across the middle. Place a teaspoon of the crab onto the bottom right-hand corner of each filo strip. Fold the filo over to make a triangle, then fold again, rolling up the strip. When the mixture is enclosed and you have a neat triangle shape, place on a baking sheet and brush with more butter. Can be made ahead up to this point and frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cook the rolls for 15-20 mins until golden and crisp. To serve, pile the parcels up on a plate or bowl, then scatter over with extra sliced spring onion, if you like.

Categories     Salad     Shellfish     Appetizer     Side     Fry     Kentucky Derby     Lime     Seafood     Crab     Summer     Shower     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Kidney Friendly     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For wonton crisps
8 square wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
About 6 cups vegetable oil
For crab salad
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lime zest
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup thinly sliced white and pale green parts of scallions (reserve dark green parts for jasmine rice with peanuts and scallions )
Accompaniment: lime wedges
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Make wonton crisps:
  • Halve each wonton wrapper to make 2 rectangles, then halve each rectangle diagonally to make 2 triangles. Heat 1 1/4 inches vegetable oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until thermometer registers 360°F. Gently lay 4 triangles on oil (do not drop in, or triangles will lose their shape) and fry, turning over once, until just golden, 15 to 30 seconds total. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Fry remaining triangles in same manner.
  • Make crab salad:
  • Whisk together zest, juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until salt is dissolved, then add olive oil, whisking until combined well.
  • Add crab, celery, and scallions to dressing and toss gently to combine.
  • Serve crab salad in glasses topped with wonton crisps.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat is the best choice for this recipe as it will give the crab triangles a more delicate flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the crab meat. This will help to prevent the crab meat from shredding and will make it easier to incorporate into the filling.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab triangles. Overcooked crab triangles will be tough and dry. Cook them just until they are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  • Serve the crab triangles with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for crab triangles include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon butter sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple filling of crab meat, cream cheese, and seasonings, and are then wrapped in wonton wrappers and fried until golden brown. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
