CRAB PIE RECIPE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Crab Pie Recipe Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-46109

Number Of Ingredients 12

2- 9 ″ deep pie crusts (baked 3 minutes and cooled)
1 pound lump crab meat
4 eggs
2 tablespoon flour
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup whole milk
8 ounce shredded Swiss cheese
8 ounce shredded Cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped green pepper
(Note: You can use backfin, it is fine. Lump is the most expensive and not necessary.)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF Bake your crust for 3 minutes. We used Pillsbury pie dough and it worked out great. We did spray the pie pans with Pam spray to keep the crust from sticking. Combine eggs, flour, mayonnaise and milk, mix well. Add cheese, 1 teaspoon Old Bay, onion and pepper and mix well. Fold in crab meat and try not to separate the lumps of crab meat too much. Pour into 2 separate pie crusts, sprinkle with additional Old Bay Seasoning. Bake at 350ºF for 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean. (Check at about 40 minutes to avoid burning, since ovens vary.)

3/4 cup Cajun Alfredo Sauce, recipe follows
3/4 cup fresh crabmeat, drained and well picked for shells
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Lower the heat to medium, add the garlic, cayenne, ancho chile, nutmeg, cracked pepper, and paprika and stir for 1 minute. Gradually stir in the cream, whisking constantly until the mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

COLOSSAL CRAB ASPARAGUS BISQUE



Colossal Crab Asparagus Bisque image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 quarts chicken stock
2 bay leaves
3 pounds asparagus, cut into 1-inch lengths (tough ends removed and discarded)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
4 white onions, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (approximately, or as needed to create roux)
1 pint heavy cream
1 pound colossal crabmeat
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons freshly chopped thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, juiced plus 1 or 2 lemons cut in wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring stock and bay leaves to a boil in a large pot. Cook asparagus until tender and add to stock pot. Melt butter in a separate saucepan and gently saute onions, celery, and carrots (mirepoix) until tender, then gradually add flour (with a non-reactive utensil such as a wooden spoon), and cook until similar to a roux. Transfer to the pot of stock to thicken soup. Let simmer for 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves from soup. *Blend to a puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender or food processor. Add cream to the soup, and keep warm over low heat.
  • For the crab "souffle," mix crab, mayonnaise, thyme, salt and pepper, and squeeze of fresh lemon juice, trying to avoid breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Place a scoop of the crabmeat in the center of soup bowl and ladle the asparagus soup around. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

CRAB AND ASPARAGUS TART



Crab and Asparagus Tart image

A savory tart, its silky custard thickly studded with crab meat to pick up the sweetness of the wines, and asparagus to tame tropical fruit and citrus flavors with vegetal, mineral notes and a hint of bitterness, will make for a lovely lunch or a predinner snack. Come summer, some diced zucchini can replace the asparagus. It also delivers a kick, not in the filling but in the pastry. There's no heat from the subdued alcohol in the bottle. The cayenne in the crust makes up for it.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups flour, more for rolling
Salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 bunch medium asparagus, ends snapped, halved vertically and cut into 1-inch pieces
8 ounces lump crab meat
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced chervil
3/4 cup half-and-half
4 ounces soft goat cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cayenne in a bowl or blend in a food processor. Add 6 tablespoons of butter and cut in or pulse until size of peas. Beat 1 egg with 2 tablespoons ice water, scatter on flour mixture and mix with a fork or pulse until a dough can be gathered together. Add a little more water if needed. Form into a disk and roll on a lightly floured surface, then lay it into a 9-inch straight-sided tart pan.
  • Trim edges, line with foil and weight with pastry weights or dry beans. Bake 10 minutes, until it starts to look dry. Remove foil and weights and bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until lightly browned. Remove from oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
  • Melt remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat, add shallot and cook 1 minute. Add asparagus and cook about 2 minutes, until they start to soften. Remove from heat. Fold in crab meat, lemon juice and chervil. Season with salt. Spread in pastry.
  • Whisk half-and-half and cheese until smooth. Beat in remaining eggs until well blended. Pour over crab and asparagus, place in oven and bake about 40 minutes, until set and lightly browned. Let cool 15 minutes, remove sides of pan and serve at once or cooled to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients Matter: Using fresh and high-quality ingredients will significantly enhance the flavor of your Crab Asparagus Pie. Opt for succulent crab meat, crisp asparagus, and a flaky pie crust to create an exceptional dish.
  • Cook the Asparagus Properly: Pre-cook the asparagus before adding it to the pie filling to ensure it's tender yet retains a slight crunch. Steaming or lightly sautéing the asparagus is recommended.
  • Season Wisely: Balance the flavors in your pie by using a combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings. Consider incorporating classic flavors like lemon zest, Dijon mustard, and freshly chopped parsley to complement the crab and asparagus.
  • Don't Overfill the Pie Crust: Avoid overfilling the pie crust as this can result in a soggy bottom and a less than perfect crust. Fill the crust until it's about 3/4 full, leaving some space for the filling to bubble and rise during baking.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended baking temperature and time to ensure the pie crust is golden brown and the filling is cooked through. Keep an eye on the pie towards the end of the baking time to prevent overcooking.

Conclusion:

Creating an Easy Crab Asparagus Pie is a culinary adventure that invites you to indulge in a flavorful combination of succulent crab, tender asparagus, and a flaky pie crust. By following these detailed tips and utilizing fresh, high-quality ingredients, you can elevate this classic dish to new heights.
