Lump Crab - 3 ways
Options

Posts: 4,973
Started out with 1 lb. of lump crabmeat:
I wanted a variety, so I decided on Crab Imperial, and Crabmeat Divan with Mornay sauce, and of course, crabcakes. All were cooked at 400 degree dome.
For the Imperial, I used this recipe, added sauteed red onion, red and yellow peppers, and did not use the sauce on top:

Veggies getting all soft and nice:
Add the veggies into the crab, along with mayo, worchestershire, butter, and lemon, and pile it into a scallop shell. Here it is on the pizza stone, after some time on the egg:
Next, I lightly steamed some broccoli and lined a scallop shell, then put the plain lump crab on top:
Mornay sauce on top of that - I used smoked swiss cheese in the sauce.
Mornay - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/classic-mornay-sauce-recipe/index.html
Not a pretty pic, the cherry wood made the mornay sauce turn a little brown, but the taste was fantastic:
The crabcakes in the CI skillet - I have posted this recipe a few times here:
The hands down winner of the 3 was the broccoli and Mornay sauce. A definite keeper and crowd pleaser.
Also, thank you to Randy, AZRP. I made his fire roasted salsa and it was great!
The veggies:
The garlic had to stay on longer than the rest, so I egged some veggies along side of it. The garlic head is sitting in a piece of foil with a ball of wadded up foil under it, so it would not be getting direct heat:
You know the garlic is done when it gets all soft and you can pull out a whole clove easily:
I hand chopped it all together, because I wanted to try it kinda rustic and chunky.
We liked it, but I might blend it up next time.
The sunset was prettier than I thought it would be:
Have a great weekend, all my egghead friends!

Beautiful as usual Faith, great job! I hope you are having a great weekend

Faith, yummy looking cooks and great photos as usual. Love the composition of the last picture with the sun off centre. I entertained my siblings' family yesterday with smoked salmon, shrimp kebobs, pulled pork, tandoori chicken and grilled pineapple, taking it easy today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

:( Faith, crab cakes, even one way but be a treat, but three ways would be cause for celebration. All three look delicious.
Sure wish I hadn't missed out on your crab cakes at the afterparty. -
Faith seeing your post I think there must be an afterlife.....would you cook for me there??? & perhaps in this one too :laugh:
