When my children entertain, I like to help them with the cooking, and this dip is always a hit, relates Camille Wisniewski from Jackson, New Jersey. Cashew nuts give this creamy mixture a nice crunch. Ingredients:
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped |
3 green onions, sliced |
2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped |
2 teaspoons canola oil |
1 can (15 ounces) asparagus spears, drained and chopped |
2 cans (6 ounces each) crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1/2 cup grated or shredded parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup chopped cashews |
assorted crackers |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute the red pepper, onions and jalapenos in oil until tender. Add the asparagus, crab, mayonnaise and cheese.
2. Transfer to a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with cashews. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Serve with crackers. Yield: 3 cups.
