10721 Hot Crab Dip 20 mins 5 mins 10 servings Fri Oct 20 12:39:00 -0700 2006 Wed Nov 04 10:31:19 -0800 2009 Easy Southern/Soul CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/10721 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:31:19 GMT Crab cakes deconstructed and topped with cornbread Crab cakes deconstructed and topped with cornbread. Call it deconstructed crab cakes if you will, but the addition of cornbread makes it much more than that.

What to buy: Creole mustard has a great heat and works well in this recipe. Substitute Dijon mustard if you can’t find it.

Horseradish cream is sometimes labeled “horseradish cream style” or “prepared horseradish.”

Game plan: The crab mix can be made up to a day ahead of time (just leave out the salt until you are ready to bake it).

This recipe was featured in our Thanksgiving Southern-Style menu.

  • Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in middle. Place mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish cream, Old Bay, celery, and onion in a small bowl and mix until well combined. Season with salt and Tabasco sauce, add crab, and mix until well incorporated.
  • Place crab mixture in a 3-cup ovenproof dish and top with crumbled cornbread. Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately with toasts or celery sticks.

    • Beverage pairing: Hugues Beaulieu Picpoul de Pinet, France. With the crab and mayo, this dish has some richness that will be balanced nicely by this wine’s racy acidity. Its bright citrus and minerality is like squeezing a lemon on the shellfish.
