Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over, cartilage and shell removed
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons minced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon minced parsley
  • 1 teaspoon capers
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 6 pre-made crepes
  • 6 blanched chives

Directions

In a medium bowl, gently mix together all of the ingredients, except for the crepes and blanched chives.

Spread the crepes on a flat work surface and place 1 heaping tablespoon of the crabmeat salad in the center of each. Draw up the crepes as though making a bundle, twisting the crepe gently to enclose the crabmeat. Tie a chive around the top of the bundle to seal the purse.

Serve immediately, or store, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.

    Incredibly Easy!!

    I can't believe this was rated as being medium difficulty-picking over the crab meat takes time to do right but it isn't... difficult at all! Be careful with the crepes and you are home free. These are easy and tasty!Read more
