Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, divided
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 pound lump crabmeat, drained and picked to remove shells
- 2 teaspoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 10 sheets phyllo dough (such as Pepperidge Farm)
- 1/4 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saute pan, add the scallions and garlic and cook over medium-low heat until the scallions are soft, approximately 5 minutes. Add the curry powder and stir.
Shred the crabmeat into a bowl and mix with the parsley, lime juice, salt, to taste, and pepper. Add the crabmeat to the scallion mixture.
Melt 10 tablespoons of butter in a small pan and set aside.
Unfold 1 sheet of the phyllo dough. Brush the sheet with melted butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Repeat the process by laying a second sheet of phyllo dough over the first sheet, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs until 5 sheets have been used. Spoon a 1-inch wide row of the crab mixture along 1 edge of the phyllo dough. Roll it up. Brush the top with butter and set aside. Repeat the entire process using the all the phyllo dough and crab filling.
Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper. Score the crab strudel diagonally into 1 1/2-inch pieces and bake for 12 minutes, or until the top is lightly brown. Slice and serve.

Just did not work for me. Love that Ina displays such a relaxed attitude in the kitchen but over the years, I have had to embellish every recipe of hers that I tried. Said with humor - when have you ever had fabulous food from a Jewish deli?

I am not a big curry fan so I use Old Bay and touch of Creole seasonings. I also used lemon instead of lime and added a little red bell pepper for even more flavor. We all loved them.
For the person who wants to know what temp to bake these on after freezing, it would be the same, just cook until they are nice and golden brown. Remember everthing is cooked already, you are just browning the phyllo and bringing everything else to temp. They are just fine at room temp.
