NEW CRAB LOUIS



New Crab Louis image

Crab Louis is a rather perfect meal for a summer night, particularly in this slimmed down, very homemade, ketchup-less version. With nothing processed or sweetened, an updated Crab Louis is simply good American crab, Little Gem- or Boston Bibb-lettuce, and pickle- and caper-studded mayonnaise whisked from olive oil and the best, richest-yolked eggs you can find. The effect is as straightforward as the original's, but the details are resolutely contemporary.

Provided by Tamar Adler

Categories     salads and dressings, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3-4 heads Little Gems lettuce (or 2 heads Boston lettuce or 1 head iceberg)
1 (12-ounce) English cucumber, halved lengthwise and seeded
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons sherry or white distilled vinegar
5 eggs at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon smooth Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
1 cup not sharp, good-tasting extra-virgin olive oil like Frantoia or California Olive Ranch
A few drops room-temperature water
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot (about 1/2 shallot)
1 stalk green garlic, light and whitest green parts only, or 1/2 clove regular garlic, peeled and chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped very dilly dill pickles
1/2 tablespoon chopped drained capers
1 pound picked-through jumbo lump crab meat (canned is fine), chilled
Homemade vinegar-based hot sauce or Tabasco
Chives or chive blossoms
Optional: Finishing salt, like Maldon
Optional: An avocado; other vegetables, like boiled asparagus or potatoes, or wedged tomato

Steps:

  • Wash the lettuce, and dry in a salad spinner and on dish towels. Chill.
  • Peel the cucumber skin in stripes, then halve lengthwise, and seed with a spoon. Cut into bite-size pieces. Drizzle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and the sherry or vinegar, and leave to marinate.
  • Bring 4 eggs to a boil, covered, in cold water. Once the water boils, turn off the heat, and leave the eggs sitting covered, 5 to 6 minutes, depending on egg size, for them to just set with the tiniest softness in the middle. Drain immediately, and leave in very cold water for a few minutes. Peel.
  • Make a damp dish towel into a ring on the kitchen table. Set a medium, round bottomed mixing bowl in it. Separate the final egg yolk. (Reserve the egg white to add to an omelet.) Whisk together the yolk, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and lemon juice well. After about 5 seconds of whisking, begin to add the oil, drop by drop. Once the mayonnaise begins to thicken, start adding oil more quickly. Whisk in all of the oil, adding drops of water, if needed, to get it to a consistency just looser than store-bought mayonnaise.
  • In a small bowl, drizzle chopped shallot with a little lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a large chef's knife, pound garlic to a paste with the last ¼ teaspoon salt. Add to mayonnaise. Add chopped pickles and capers. Add the reserved shallots. Mix well, and taste for salt. Refrigerate, covered, if not using immediately.
  • Lay leaves of lettuce in a lightly piled layer on dinner plates. Drain the cucumbers, and divide between plates. Halve or quarter eggs, and divide among plates, salting each lightly. Divide crab among salads. Shake hot sauce directly over the crab on each plate, as liberally as you like. Dollop each salad with dressing, mostly on crab, but allowed to cascade. Finish with a little crunchy salt, if using, and chopped chives or chive blossoms. Add any additional vegetables before the crab. Serve any remaining dressing on the side. Eat cold.

CRAB LOUIS



Crab Louis image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups lump crabmeat (about 1 pound)
1 cup prepared mayonnaise
4 teaspoons chili sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped green bell pepper
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 scallions, finely chopped
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Hot sauce, to taste
Freshly ground pepper
1 hard-boiled egg
4 to 8 Bibb lettuce leaves, washed and dried
4 thick slices beefsteak tomatoes
1 ripe avocado, seeded, peeled, and quartered lengthwise

Steps:

  • Using your finger, carefully pick through the crab and discard any bits of shell or hard cartilage. Try to leave the lumps as intact as possible. Put the meat in a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, bell pepper, lemon juice, 1/2-teaspoon salt, scallion, a couple dashes Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Season the dressing with pepper to taste.
  • Gently fold about 1/4 cup of the dressing into the crab with a rubber spatula. Take care not to break the crab into smaller pieces. Put the crab salad and the dressing in the refrigerator until cold.
  • Meanwhile, put the hard-boiled egg in a fine sieve set over a bowl. Using the back of a spoon, rub the egg through mesh to make a fine textured garnish. Set aside.
  • Divide the lettuce leaves among 4 plates. Top each with a tomato slice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place an avocado quarter across each tomato slice and top with 1/4 of the crab mixture. Spoon some of the dressing over the crab and sprinkle each salad with some of the egg. Serve and pass the remaining dressing at the table.
