Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 to 14 sweet mini peppers
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 ounces flavored cream cheese (such as scallion, chive and onion or garlic and herb), at room temperature
8 ounces fresh lump or jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Cut the peppers lengthwise and remove the stems, seeds and ribs. If needed, trim a small amount off the bottom of each pepper half so that it will lie flat when cut-side up (making them steady is important so the filling stays intact during baking). Chop the trimmings into small pieces and set aside.
  • Toss the pepper halves in a medium bowl with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Set aside.
  • Stir together the softened cream cheese and reserved pepper trimmings in another medium bowl until smooth. Gently fold in the crabmeat and season with salt and pepper.
  • Fill each pepper half with about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture so it comes over the top of the pepper slightly. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the filling is beginning to brown, about 18 minutes. Serve warm.

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt
For the peppers:
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons creme fraiche
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup grated manchego cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 large egg, lightly beaten
8 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 16-ounce jar piquillo peppers

Steps:

  • Make the aioli: Heat the paprika and vegetable oil in a small saucepan over low heat. When hot, remove the pan from the heat and allow the oil to steep at room temperature, 20 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Combine the egg yolk, vinegar and lemon juice in a food processor or blender; process until smooth and frothy. With the machine running, slowly pour in the paprika-infused oil and process until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt. (The aioli can be made up to 3 days ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container.)
  • Make the filling for the peppers: Combine the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, mustard, lemon juice, manchego, parsley, chives and egg in a large bowl; mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula to combine. Gently mix in the crabmeat (do not break it up too much). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drain the piquillo peppers thoroughly. Remove the seeds, making sure to keep the peppers whole and intact. Carefully spoon about 1 tablespoon crab filling into each pepper. Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish, such as a cazuela. (The peppers can be filled 1 day ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Transfer the peppers to the oven and bake, uncovered, until heated through, about 15 minutes. Top the peppers with the aioli and return to the oven until the aioli is hot, about 2 more minutes.

CRAB STUFFED PEPPERS



Crab stuffed peppers image

I was tasked with making lunch on Sunday and there just wasn't much in the house or the cupboard. I discovered a can of lump crab meat on the bottom shelf of the fridge and started thinking. A raid on the crisper found a few old orange peppers and a few raw Brussels sorouts that needed to be eaten soon. My mind started to grind....

Provided by Dave Mathews

Categories     Seafood

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 bell peppers, orange
1 lb lump crab meat
1/2 c crackers, ground
6 medium brussel sprouts
1/2 stick butter, melted
2 Tbsp parmesean cheese
1 Tbsp garlic, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the peppers by cutting in half and seeding. Bake for 20 minutes at 300F or until a light char forms around edges
  • 2. Meanwhile prepare crab filling by placing crab meat, ground crackers, garlic and Parmesean cheese in a medium bowl. Finley chop Brussels sprouts. Be sure to remove bottom stem and any bad looking leaves first. Add to crab mixture and mix well. Add melted butter and stir. The filling should be wet enough to form a ball and stick together so test it as you add the butter. It might not take all of it.
  • 3. Let the crab mixture stand for at least 10 minutes so the crackers get soft.
  • 4. Remove the bell peppers from the oven and let cool unless you have asbestos hands. Stuff each half pepper with the crab mixture. Over fill each. They look better that way. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes keeping an eye on them so they don't burn.
  • 5. To serve make a quick bechamel sauce with a good amount of crushed garlic. Make it thick so it can be piped over stuffed pepper just before serving.
