NEW CRAB LOUIS



New Crab Louis image

Crab Louis is a rather perfect meal for a summer night, particularly in this slimmed down, very homemade, ketchup-less version. With nothing processed or sweetened, an updated Crab Louis is simply good American crab, Little Gem- or Boston Bibb-lettuce, and pickle- and caper-studded mayonnaise whisked from olive oil and the best, richest-yolked eggs you can find. The effect is as straightforward as the original's, but the details are resolutely contemporary.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3-4 heads Little Gems lettuce (or 2 heads Boston lettuce or 1 head iceberg)
1 (12-ounce) English cucumber, halved lengthwise and seeded
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons sherry or white distilled vinegar
5 eggs at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon smooth Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
1 cup not sharp, good-tasting extra-virgin olive oil like Frantoia or California Olive Ranch
A few drops room-temperature water
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot (about 1/2 shallot)
1 stalk green garlic, light and whitest green parts only, or 1/2 clove regular garlic, peeled and chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped very dilly dill pickles
1/2 tablespoon chopped drained capers
1 pound picked-through jumbo lump crab meat (canned is fine), chilled
Homemade vinegar-based hot sauce or Tabasco
Chives or chive blossoms
Optional: Finishing salt, like Maldon
Optional: An avocado; other vegetables, like boiled asparagus or potatoes, or wedged tomato

Steps:

  • Wash the lettuce, and dry in a salad spinner and on dish towels. Chill.
  • Peel the cucumber skin in stripes, then halve lengthwise, and seed with a spoon. Cut into bite-size pieces. Drizzle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and the sherry or vinegar, and leave to marinate.
  • Bring 4 eggs to a boil, covered, in cold water. Once the water boils, turn off the heat, and leave the eggs sitting covered, 5 to 6 minutes, depending on egg size, for them to just set with the tiniest softness in the middle. Drain immediately, and leave in very cold water for a few minutes. Peel.
  • Make a damp dish towel into a ring on the kitchen table. Set a medium, round bottomed mixing bowl in it. Separate the final egg yolk. (Reserve the egg white to add to an omelet.) Whisk together the yolk, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and lemon juice well. After about 5 seconds of whisking, begin to add the oil, drop by drop. Once the mayonnaise begins to thicken, start adding oil more quickly. Whisk in all of the oil, adding drops of water, if needed, to get it to a consistency just looser than store-bought mayonnaise.
  • In a small bowl, drizzle chopped shallot with a little lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a large chef's knife, pound garlic to a paste with the last ¼ teaspoon salt. Add to mayonnaise. Add chopped pickles and capers. Add the reserved shallots. Mix well, and taste for salt. Refrigerate, covered, if not using immediately.
  • Lay leaves of lettuce in a lightly piled layer on dinner plates. Drain the cucumbers, and divide between plates. Halve or quarter eggs, and divide among plates, salting each lightly. Divide crab among salads. Shake hot sauce directly over the crab on each plate, as liberally as you like. Dollop each salad with dressing, mostly on crab, but allowed to cascade. Finish with a little crunchy salt, if using, and chopped chives or chive blossoms. Add any additional vegetables before the crab. Serve any remaining dressing on the side. Eat cold.

CRAB LOUIS



Crab Louis image

This is a chilled salad invented by a Seattle chef-and I feel like that makes sense. It had to be a chef that had a ton of fresh seafood around that would create a dish like this. Honestly, it's a bit elaborate, but it's wonderful because it manages to be both casual and fancy at the same time. The sauce has a tingle of heat and some sweetness, too. It's almost like a slightly creamy cousin of shrimp cocktail, but with crabmeat.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 scallions, minced
Kosher salt
2 cups (about 1 pound) cleaned, cooked lump or jumbo lump crab meat, chilled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small bunch chives, minced
1 head Bibb lettuce, leaves separated
1 cup cherry tomatoes, preferably Sweet 100, or grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
1 large lemon, sliced, for squeezing

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, half the scallions and a pinch of salt. Taste for seasoning.
  • For the crab: Spread the crab out on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and half the chives. Drizzle with the sauce to taste. Do not mix.
  • To plate: Arrange the lettuce leaves as cups in a circle on a large plate. Disperse the tomatoes around the lettuce. Spoon some of the crab into each lettuce cup. Top each cup with an egg quarter and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and a squeeze of lemon. Hold in the refrigerator until ready to serve and enjoy cold.

  • To make the crab salad more flavorful, add a variety of seasonings, such as Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and celery salt.
  • If you don't have any avocado, you can substitute another fruit or vegetable, such as mango, pineapple, or cucumber.
  • For a vegetarian version of Crab Louis, use hearts of palm instead of crab meat.
  • Serve Crab Louis on a bed of lettuce or other greens.

Conclusion:
