WITH JOHN ASH IN THE KITCHEN
Crab—the deviled is in the details Get a leg up on this year' s Dungeness season!
A simple dish to prepare and delicious. Living in Northern California, of course, my crab of choice is Dungeness. Now that the season is open here, this is a fun recipe to enjoy with your special someone.
Serves 4-6
Salt and freshly ground pepper 1 cup coarse dry bread crumbs, Panko preferred
Deviled Dungeness crab 2/3 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons lime juice
4 tablespoons melted butter Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl mix the mayonnaise, cilantro, mustard, lime juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce together. Stir in the green onions and piquillos and then add the crab and toss gently to mix. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more of any flavoring you like and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the crab mixture among small gratin dishes or shells. Top evenly with the breadcrumbs. Drizzle with the melted butter. Bake 15 minutes or until the topping is crisp and browned and the crab mixture is bubbly.
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, preferably white 1 teaspoon bottled hot sauce of your choice, or to taste 1/4 cup chopped green onions 1/4 cup piquillo or roasted red peppers, seeded and diced 1 pound cooked Dungeness crabmeat, carefully picked over
