This recipe is so easy to make and full of flavor. To keep the cost down I used the fake crab, nobody even noticed. Great hit, everyone loved it. Thank you Ina.




Very wet streudel.

This looked really good on TV but when I made them at home the streudel (once it sat) became very wet. It looked gorgeous but the curry powder and salt were overpowering and I love both ingredients. The base (technique) of the streudel was great though. I would suggest making the streudel base with rasberry preserves inside or using a pre-made crab dip (cheaper). The possibilities are endless for the streudel, but the filling was not to my taste. I've tried a lot of your other recipes Ina and you're awesome!!!!

This was a real crowd pleaser! I made it as an appetizer for Easter Sunday and everyone from my 6-year old to my curry-phobic husband enjoyed it! I might try adding a little chopped red pepper when I sautee the onions and garlic. I love crab with red pepper. This was also very easy to make. Thanks Ina for another winner!




Great Recipe!

These were an absolute hit! The first one I made,I think I used too much filling. It was a tad soggy. The second one was perfect. When I make them again I think I will use a few more phyllo sheets




Delicious!

I had never worked with phyllo before, but it wasn't too hard. And the result is delicious! I also used Old Bay and it really compliments the lime.




Another Home Run recipe from the Ina

This recipe is a hit. Fixed this new one for a dinner party, had the guests begging for more. The great thing about Ina's recipes is that she leaves is open for you to experiment with her blueprint, as she says so in the episode in which this recipe aired. I worship her, she is the "Food Wisperer"




CRAZY FOR CRAB

We're not fond of curry so I did what some others have done--substitute Old Bay seasoning instead. Then I made a lemon-dill dip (a Paula Deen recipe) to go with the strudel. It was wonderful! Thanks to both Ina and Paula!




Welcome change from the usual

I had to try this, because it had two yummy things: crab and phyllo. I don't normally change ingredients the first time I use a recipe but I am not fond of curry so sub'd it for 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning. If I was going to spend crazy money on good crab, I didn't want to experiment on something I might not like. It was great, really a nice change from the usual dips and bruschetta.




Spectacular!

My husband, daughter and I all thought this was one incredible recipe. Based on the suggestion of other reviewers, I cut the total salt. I also added some mango chutney on the side for those that had the desire to dip. This is definitely making an appearance at my next "appetizer" party!

This dish is "to die for" everyone absolutly loved it! I suggest using 1/2 the kosher salt. I like salt and it was a little to salty for me. Definatly make this one you will not regret it.




Yum but switched from curry to chipolte

We're not fans of curry powder but we both decided we wanted to try the recipe. Instead of the tsp of curry we added a 1/2 tsp of chipolte powder instead. It was really great too. As usual Ina comes through again and thanks food network for getting the recipe right.




Great appetizer!

This strudel is AWESOME! The only thing is we thought it needed a dip of some kind. I made one with sour cream, mayonnaise, capers and a few spices and we LOVED it! So much we wouldn't share!
