the crab is a whole crab
Answers: if you was to serve crab for a meal, what would you offer on the plate with it
the crab is a whole crab
Brown bread and butter
rice with crab
simple melted butter is good...or a rich creamy white wine sauce...or an interesting salad...or just simply serve it on its own; it will be delicious...
butter
If we're talking starches, I'd say either a rice or baked potato.
For veggies, I'd say steam a vegetable blend or a salad.
salad and a nice prawn sauce
butter, lemon, tarter sauce, or simply a bit of black pepper.
if you want other food with it, a light salad would be good
garlic fried rice, some vinegar sauce with chili, and the thing that can crack open a nut so you can crack open the pincher's.. cuz thats were more of the juice and meat is...
I let the crab pick the menu - a good hostess always lets her dinner guests choose.
Simple salad (radicchio perhaps with baby tomatoes) and a vinaigrette dressing with crusty bread to mop up!
If you are serving it whole, then you don't want to make the dish too heavy if there are courses before and after.
One thing that I like to do with a dressed crab is a rocket salad, balsamic dressing and pomegranete seeds over it. You can put a simple warm potato salad with it dusted with cayenne or paprika.
At the end of the day, crab is crab-if it is fresh and you don't monkey about with it too much, then a bit of butter and it will be fantastic.
Pasta and salad. <*-*>
Nothing, I asked her and she said when she is being a crab, she doesn't want to eat.
It would depend on how the crab is prepared. Is it steamed to retain its natural sweet flavour or stir-fried with a thick gravy? If it's the former, get some nice white wine to go along and have a light salad to go along. If it's the latter (like chilli crab or black pepper crab), bread/rice with a veg dish would be excellent.
Always rem the crab is the star so nothing too overpowering to go along with it. =)
hot butter and sour cream mixed with chives if lobster i suggest a nice lemon butter dip works well for the taste buds
well I have exactly the same waiting to be eaten here, I'm doing a seafood salad.
Along with the crab I also have Cockles & Mussles, I'll be doing those on a bed of fresh spinach, with baby plum tomatoes, celery, grated carrot, a boiled egg (so the white is all cooked but the yolks are still just runny), mushroom, some small cheese cubes (cheddar) and red seedless grapes.
With some thousand island dressing on the side, and a slice of five seed bread.
a brick
This is a recipe for one. Obviously, double it if for 2 and so on...
Fry some onions and one chopped clove of garlic in a pan with half a teaspoon of salt and some oil. Add 1 chopped chilli and fry. Stir in some cooked pasta and empty out the meat of the crab (brown and white) into the pasta. Stir until properly heated through.
Serve with garlic bread and white wine.
nice baked buttery potato or sauteed string beans with butter and almonds
Cold dish with fried potatoes or croquettes or fritten.
......more crab, I love it!
