Ingredients

  • 1 c. Finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 Tbsp. Finely chopped garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. Heavy cream
  • 1/2 lb Cream cheese
  • 1 lb Lump crabmeat
  • 1 tsp Minced parsley
  • 1 tsp Minced basil
  • 1 tsp Minced chives
  • 1 dsh Salt, freshly grnd black pepper and cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 c. Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp Mashed garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. Very finely chopped chives
  • 1 Tbsp. Very finely chopped basil
  • 1 Tbsp. Very finely chopped parsley
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly grnd black pepper
  • 1 x Long loaf of fresh, crusty French bread

Directions

  1. 1. Heart the extra virgin olive oil in a heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Add in the onions and garlic and saute/fry for 2 min, stirring to prevent browning. Add in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Add in the cream cheese and whisk till all of the cheese is melted and you have a smooth mix.
  2. 2. Remove the pan from the heat and place the mix in a bowl. Let it cold for 10 min at room temperature. Mix in the crabmeat, herbs and seasonings. Serve immediately or possibly chill and serve chilled. Accompany with Herb Toasts.
  3. Herb Toasts:1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. 2. Combine all of the ingredients except the French bread and let them sit for 15 min. Slice the bread into thin slices. Lay the slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops with the herbed extra virgin olive oil. Bake the slices at 250 degrees for 8 to 10 min or possibly till they are crisply toasted and light golden brown in color.
  5. Note: All crabmeat should be gently picked over to remove any possible remaining shell. Place the crabmeat in a strainer and press down lightly to extract any extra water. When using lump crab, you want to keep it as intact as possible.
  6. Yield: 2 c.
  7. NOTES : From Dean Ferring, chef at The Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas.
