Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup celery top
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups milk
4 egg yolks
1/2 lb crabmeat
6 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Butter a 8 cup souffle dish.
  • Toast coconut in a non-stick skillet over low heat.
  • In a medium skillet, melt butter over low heat and add the celery, garlic, curry powder, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper - cook for 3 minutes. Stir in flour until smooth for about 1 minute. Pour in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Set aside and cool slightly.
  • Whisk the egg yolks one at a time into the sauce. Stir in coconut and crab meat. In medium bowl, beat egg whites and lemon juice with a mixer until stiff, but not dry. Stir 1/4 of the whites into crab mixture. Quickly and gently fold in the remaining whites. Do not deflate the volume.
  • Transfer mixture to the souffle dish and place it on a rack at the bottom of the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden, puffed and still moist inside.
