Photo: Arctic Circle Crab Crostini Recipe
Ingredients
Apricot Fennel Marmalade:
- 3 stalks fennel, shaved with a mandoline
- 1 large white onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup apricot marmalade
Crab crostini:
- 1 large red onion, diced fine
- 1 fresh lime, zest grated and juiced
- 1 teaspoon stone ground mustard
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 pound cooked Dungeoness crabmeat, picked through to remove remnants of shells
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 loaf French bread, sliced on the diagonal into 16 (1/2-inch) slices and lightly toasted
- 16 small parsley sprigs, for garnish
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine shaved fennel, onion, sugar and marmalade and cook for 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Set aside to cool to room temperature
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine onion, lime zest and juice, mustard and mayonnaise in a bowl, and then fold crabmeat into the mixture so that it's just combined and the crab is not broken or mashed. Season with salt and pepper, as needed. Arrange bread on a baking sheet. Using a melon baller, or small scoop, spoon seafood mixture onto bread and bake briefly in oven until seafood balls are lightly browned.
