Eggfest lobster Dip
3.5 pounds fresh lobster meat
3 pounds cream cheese
1 T garlic powder +/-
1/2 T coarse black pepper
1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley chopped
1 bunch green onions chop just the greens
about a 1/4 c pinot grigio (what I happened to be drinking and the box was handy)
OR: :laugh:
1/2 lb frozen lobster meat chopped coarse
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp coarse
2 T chopped flat leaf parsley
2 T chopped green onions cracked pepper
white wine or milk or cream
Nuke the cream cheese in microwave just till soft stir in garlic powder and pepper. stir in lobster and greens
if it is to stiff add your fav liquid till soft. not to runny it will thin when you heat it. I did direct on a lg till bubbly. I saved out a pound of meat and a few of the greens to spread over the top to garnish.

Rod's Birthday Wonton's
1 lb lobster meat
1 lb cream cheese
1 cup parm cheese fine grated
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cracked pepper
some chopped green onions and chopped flat leaf parsley
2 packages of frozen wonton's
soften cream cheese in the microwave and mix in all the other ingredients except the wonton's
lay out wonton's about 6 at a time and brush with warm water place a small amount of mixture in the center of each and fold and pat to seal. We looked online to see how to fold for a wonton.
http://www.homemade-chinese-soups.com/how-to-fold-wontons.html
We folded 72 of them envelope style
these were very easy and make up fast. we layered between foil till we got to Rods and I was not to sure if they would stick and be a mess or not but they did fine so they can be made up at least 4 hours in advance and refrigerated fine. We fried them in a wok at Rods in about 2 inches of hot oil. no idea of temp or settings. just a hot wok direct on a med
flip once and let them cool a little on paper towels as they are HOT inside.

The meat I used this weekend was frozen. I did pick it myself and it was only frozen for about 5 days. But that that is on the frozen seafood part of your grocery is not to bad. and where you are mixing it with other flavors and textures and heating I think it will be fine


these are soft shell so I did not need crackers or picks at all. they just pulled apart by hand
all the claws and tails
ready to take home and vac pac and freeze. I did it all in 1 pound packs and had 1 with 3/4 that is what was on the top of the pot to look pretty
ended up with 4.75 pounds of meat from the 18 lobsters. the "shedders" are not full of meat yet as they just "shed" their shells -
shoot that looks good maybe need a couple pounds of butter but next time just bring the bags :laugh:
great meeting you julie
happy eggin

Sorry I missed the party. Gloria makes a similiar dip with crab meat and sometimes tosses in some chopped artichoke hearts and a Tabasco spice of some sort. See you in March??????
-
Julie those wontons at Rods were out of this world. I might try them with some snowcrab while I can still get them for $5 a pound.
-
I know I told you this a hundred times or so, but that stuff was fabulous! Was that Ritz crackers you served with it? -RP
-
Julie, thanks so much for both recipes. I tasted them both and they were fantastic!!

I think they would be great with Crab Pat!! We are going to give it a try when we get to FL and get a nice mess of Blue Crabs
-
Thanks Faith

I got the box of assorted crax at Sam's club. I forget what kind they were now. If Poot is around he can tell you. I had an extra box and gave them to him.
-
That sounds good. I especially want to try the wontons.
-
Julie, Like everyone else said-that stuff was delicious! I'll be at my lobster club this week getting some extra lobster to try your recipes.
Brian -
That stuff was great Julie! I am going to try it with crawfish like we talked about since they are a little more plentiful down here. I just hope it is as half as good as yours. Thanks for sharing.
-
Thanks, Julie.
Can't wait to try. Supper club Saturday at my house - probably good chance to use the dip! Cooking rack of lamb for 8 ! -
Me too- it was STUNNING!
-
Thanks for the recipe Julie! Both the wontons and the lobster dip were FANTASTIC! I couldn't pull myself away from that bowl of lobster dip. Alot of people had the same problem. Great job!!!
-
I only got to try the Won Tons and they were great...

I look forward to trying the dip at another fest...when Pat & Fidel are not eating it all... :blink: -
Thanks Faith ! When you wrote "recipe", I was afraid it was for mullet. Will definitely try the lobster recipes.
Uh, you said the Pinot Noir box was handy? Gee Faith, I always had you pegged classy enough at least for a screw top. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Matter of fact, Kris brand IS screw top and very classy.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious
