CHEESY CRAB TARTS



Cheesy Crab Tarts image

I love to entertain and always looking for yummy appetizers. These wonderful little tarts are compliments of Paula Deen. I prepared them ahead of time and warmed them in the oven before my guests arrived. Besides their scrumptious taste and slight kick they make a beautiful presentation. I also substituted the lump crab with imitation crab.

Yield Serves 6 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 14

pastry dough
pie weights or raw rice for weighting shell
1 medium onion
1 medium green bell pepper
2 celery ribs
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds jumbo lump crab meat
a 7-ounce jar roasted peppers
2/3 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1 bunch scallions
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons fine fresh bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out dough into a 14-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick) and fit into an 11-inch round tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Roll rolling pin over top of shell to trim dough flush with rim and lightly press dough up side of pan. With a fork prick bottom and side of shell all over. Chill shell 30 minutes, or until firm.

  • Finely chop onion, bell pepper, and celery and in a heavy skillet cook vegetables in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until bell pepper is softened.
  • Increase temperature to 425°F.
  • Pick over crab meat and drain roasted peppers. Finely chop roasted peppers, parsley, and scallion greens, reserving whites for another use. In a large bowl whisk together mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs and gently stir in onion mixture, crab, roasted peppers, parsley, scallion, cayenne, and salt to taste.
  • Spoon filling into shell, smoothing top, and sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs. Bake tart in middle of oven until top is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve tart warm or at room temperature.
