This is one of our favorite dips, especially when it is crab season, like it is now. From ''Everyday Celebrations'' by Donata Maggipinto *NOTE* This recipe was adopted in a whirlwind open adoption in September of 2006. I haven't had the opportunity to make this recipe but when I do I will update! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped |
1 green bell pepper, seeded, deribbed, and finely chopped |
3 stalks celery, finely chopped |
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs |
1/2 cup whole milk |
1 lb fresh lump crabmeat, picked over for shell |
1/2 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley (italian) |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
cracker, for serving |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Butter a 6-cup baking dish.
3. In a medium skillet or saute pan, melt the 2 tablespoons butter over low heat.
4. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and celery and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
5. Put 2 cups of the bread crumbs in a large bowl and gradually stir milk into crumbs. Mix well.
