ingredients
- 1 lb lump crabmeat (already cooked)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon pepperoncini peppers, flakes or 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sliced scallion, green part
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 2 ounces dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 6 slices crusty bread
- lemon zest (to garnish)
directions
- In a large sauté pan over medium heat , add the olive oil and toast both sides of the bread to a nice golden brown. Set them aside on paper towel to cool and season with a pinch of salt.
- In a sauté pan over medium heat add the butter, garlic, scallion, pepperoncini flakes, parsley and salt. Stirring with a wooden spoon continuously, bloom out the fragrance of these ingredients for 1 min, adjust to a low heat if it starts to color too fast.
- Next you add the crab (note: it is recommended that you check the crab for any cartilage or shell fragments). Fold the crab into the garlic mixture and season with salt, then add the wine. Continue cooking out the wine until fully evaporated and the ingredients are well mixed.
- Spoon the crab mix onto the toasted bread and finish with freshly grated lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately and perhaps pair this with fruity Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. This recipe will serve up to six people.
