Crab Salad Canapes Recipes

CRAB SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, lightly toss the crabmeat, celery, chives, and tarragon together.
• In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and mustard. Add the dressing to the crabmeat mixture and stir until just coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If not using right away refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Serve on toasted rolls or on a bed of lettuce.

LUMP CRAB MEAT SALAD CANAPéS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except for the crab meat into a bowl and whisk together. Taste for seasoning and add salt/pepper as needed.
• Drain the lump crab meat and add it to the dressing. Fold the dressing into the lump crab meat gently, so you do not break it up too much. Continue to fold until completely combined.
• Slice the cucumber into ovals (on an angle) that are 1/4 inch thick. Cutting them on the angle gives the most surface area to hold the crab salad.
• Top each cucumber slice with scoop of the crab meat salad, then garnish with a tiny sprig of Dill.

CRAB SALAD CANAPES

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.

SPICY CRAB SALAD TAPAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Combine the first 12 ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour., Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Roll each pastry into a 10-in. square; cut each into twenty-five 2-in. squares. Using a round 1-1/2-in. cookie cutter, cut out the centers of half the puff pastry squares. Whisk egg and water; brush over pastry. Place cutout squares on top of solid squares; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets., Bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Once cool, spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of crab salad into center of each cooked pastry. If desired, top with minced parsley and seasoning. Serve immediately.

CRAB, LIME & CHILLI TOASTS

• Meanwhile, mix the crab, chilli, coriander, lime zest and juice with the remaining oil and some seasoning, then spoon on top of the toast just before you serve.
