Creole Crab Stuffed Avocados image

Recipe from www.letscookfrench.com and posted here for ZWT5. NOTE: after making this recipe, I have made some edits to the original recipe (it had too much mayo and it didn't give enough direction for the avocados).

Provided by januarybride

Categories     Crab

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 avocados, not overly ripe
2 tablespoons rice
10 crab sticks, chopped (I actually used canned crab)

2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
3 drops Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped herbs (chives, thyme, basil or whatever you like)
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Steam the rice and let it cool.
  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, salt & pepper, lemon juice, ketchup and tabasco.
  • Cut the avocados in half and scoop out the inside, leaving a small amount all around the skin to keep it sturdy. Set aside the skins.
  • Dice the avocado.
  • Sitr together the crab, mayonnaise mixture and the cooled rice. Then fold in the avocado and tomatoes. Taste the mixture and add any additional salt/pepper or seasoning that you like.
  • Fill each avocado half with the prepared mixture, sprinkle with chopped herbs and refrigerate until serving.

CRAB-STUFFED AVOCADOS BY JOHN BESH



Crab-Stuffed Avocados by John Besh image

You can make the dressing for the crab salad in advance and pick the crab from the shells a day ahead, but don't combine the two or cut and fill the avocados until moments before you're ready to serve. The bright crab flavor will become muddled if seasoned in advance and cut avocados have a tendency to oxidize and darken. -From My Family Table by John Besh/Andrews McMeel Publishing
