I was so pleased that this Gingered Crab Rarebit turned out ok. This was my very first time cooking crab. I used crab that had already been picked from
the crab. I'll need to work up courage
to tackle a whole crab.
The rarebit mixture:
Mustard powder
Worcestershire sauce
Grated cheese
Crème Fraiche
Crab lumps
Teensy bit of salt
Pepper
Just mix together with a wooden spoon
Butter the undersides of your slices of bread. Obviously you butter them in the normal way
and then turn them over onto your baking tray/paper.
Spoon the mixture onto each slice, then spread it to
the edges. Finish each piece with a slice
of chili for garnish.
Cook in the oven or under a grill until golden brown.
Lush!
That looks good -- nice job. My mom used to cook crab quite a bit, but I never had it as rarebit. Definitely going on my try list.
ReplyDeleteI've never eaten a whole crab or dealt with picking out the meat. Our seafood market sells them but I buy the crab meat in a container. I like what you made, love the colors too.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things to make growing up was open-faced grilled cheese! Why have I never thought of adding crab for a grown-up version???
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this before. It sure looks tasty!
