Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 orange bell pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 baguette or ficelle, cut into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
1/4 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked clean
1/2 celery stalk, strings removed, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1/2 small carrot, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-long matchsticks
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a grill to hot, or turn on the broiler. Cook bell pepper until it is completely charred, turning so all sides cook evenly, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer warm pepper to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until cool.
  • Using your hands, rub off charred skin. Slice pepper in half, and remove seeds and stem. Cut pepper into diamond shapes that are slightly larger than a piece of baguette.
  • Using a wooden spoon, mix together butter and two mustards in a small bowl until well combined. Spread a generous dollop of mustard butter on each slice of bread.
  • Place remaining ingredients except marjoram in a medium bowl, and toss to combine. Place a pepper diamond on each piece of bread, and top with a mound of crab salad. Garnish each canape with several marjoram leaves, and serve.

I'm allergic to crab, so I used shrimp instead. The canapés were still delicious!

The canapés were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.
