Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces lump crab meat, picked over
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Madeira wine
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch ground white pepper
1 clove garlic
1/2 bunch parsley
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 quarts water
2 lemons, divided
2 cans artichoke hearts packed in water (14oz can), or 6 fresh artichokes (see Step 2 for preparation)
White bread (such as Pullman loaf)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Dip: Preheat oven to 525 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, add crab meat, mayonnaise, Madeira, salt, paprika, cayenne, and white pepper. Mince the garlic (you should have about 1 tablespoon) and add to the bowl. Crumple up the parsley and finely chop it; add 3 tablespoons to the bowl and reserve the rest. Add the cheese to the bowl and set aside.
  • (Note: If using canned artichokes, skip to Step 4.) Prepare fresh artichokes: Peel outer layers of the artichoke to reveal the tender leaves at the stem. Place the artichoke on its side and slice off the top third or so. Continue to peel away the darker outer layers, revealing the pale yellow interior. Make acidulated water: Add water to a bowl. Squeeze lemon juice from 1½ lemons into the water, followed by the squeezed lemon halves themselves. This acidulated water will be used to prevent the artichoke from oxidizing and turning brown. Set aside. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half directly into the dip.
  • Continue breaking down the artichoke: Cut most of the stem off. Then use a paring knife to trim away the tough fibrous leaves around the stem. Slice off about an inch of the top to reveal the inner purple choke; remove the pale, tender layers surrounding the choke and place them in the acidulated water. Next, place the trimmed artichoke in the palm of your hand. Use a paring knife at an angle to cut all the way around the choke to remove it. (Don't cut too deep, or the tender heart will be removed, too!) Continue to scrape to remove all of the fuzzy hairs; a spoon works well, too. Slice what remains into ½-inch pieces and place into the acidulated water. Repeat with remaining artichokes. (Note: Artichoke pieces will need to be steamed or boiled for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the dip.)
  • Canned artichokes: Make sure the hearts are well drained. Slice them diagonally into ¼-inch strips; add to the bowl with the other dip ingredients. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to break up the lump crab meat. Evenly spread mixture into a baking dish. Top with a pinch of paprika, some more chopped parsley, a sprinkling of salt, and 1-2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan. Baking the dip: Place baking dish on the upper rack of the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 400 F. Bake uncovered until brown and bubbly, 20 minutes.
  • Toast points: Meanwhile, slice bread into ¾-inch slices. Thinly spread butter onto both sides of each slice. Trim the crusts, then slice in half diagonally to get two triangles per slice. Place on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 400 degrees F until golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Place toast points on a serving plate next to bubbling hot dip. Heap a spoonful of dip on toast and eat immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh artichoke hearts for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have any fresh artichoke hearts, you can use canned artichoke hearts, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
  • Use a good quality crab meat for the best results. Fresh or frozen crab meat works well, but avoid using canned crab meat as it can be tough and stringy.
  • Be sure to shred the crab meat finely before adding it to the dip. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the dip and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a creamy cheese that melts well, such as cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, or Boursin cheese.
  • Add some grated Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese for extra flavor.
  • Season the dip to taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Serve the dip warm with crackers, chips, or vegetables for dipping.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker warm artichoke and crab dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for parties and gatherings. It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The artichoke hearts and crab meat add a nice texture and flavor to the dip, and the cheese and seasonings make it irresistible. This dip is sure to be a hit with your guests!
