hi, I'm a relative newbie, especially with seafood. considering I live in the Midwest, my choices for crab are canned or frozen king or snow crab legs. I have a couple of pounds of frozen snow crab legs in the freezer that have been in there a little while... a few months... I doubt if they would be that good now... could I use the meat from them for a dish like this? I hate to waste food... and this sounds SO good... love Tyler's stuff.

any feedback is appreciated. sorry if this is off-topic...

Eric

I made this for a party and it was great. I did make some adjustments, increased the crab and mixed about 1/4 C parmesan into the dip. The crab amount was the equivalent of a 1.5lb dungeness crab about 2 cups. I mixed fresh bread crumbs with the parmesan on top for baking. Turned out great.

Thank you to the member who posted the REAL directions from the episode! You were sooo right! Adding thyme to the steam bag is awesome and then combining the whole dip with the steamer liquid and artichokes and 1/2 cup to 1 cup parmesan cheese into a food processor makes it perfect! One change we made, which we recommend if you are concerned about your health, is to use VEGENAISE instead of MAYO. Even if you aren't a vegan, it has much better flavor than mayo and it's a million times healthier. No eggs, no cholesterol, no preservatives, no dairy. We figured the cheese and sour cream was enough dairy (we kept those in cuz we aren't vegan!! also, covering it with parm and drizzling EVOO before baking made it perfect. we stuck it in the broiler for less than a minute and it was golden bubbly cheesey goodness. we also recommend TWO french baguettes and a backup back of salt & pepper pita chips. we hate running out of chips for the dip!!!

For those saying this had no flavor, I just watched the episode, and here are the missing directions that might add the flavor you are missing. First, when making the artichokes in the steamer bag with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, he also added a bunch of FRESH THYME. Maybe about 5-6 sprigs. Then when making the dip in the food processor, after adding the sour cream and mayonnaise, he added freshly grated PARMESAN CHEESE into the dip (not just as a topping, roughly 1/2 c to 1 cup. He also added the FLAVORED LIQUID from the steamer bag after it cooked in the microwave. Then he added the artichokes to the FOOD PROCESSOR. Running the artichokes through the processor with the dip, vs. just chopping and adding to the dip will make a better distribution of artichoke flavor. Then he folded in the crab meat. Lastly, the recipe says bake and then garnish with parsley and parmesan. That's not what he did. BEFORE baking, he topped it with parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, then baked it. Even this picture of the dish shows the cheese is not baked like he did on the show, where it was nice and golden brown, and much more appetizing. I wish the people writing/adding these recipes to the web would be more careful. We trust Tyler to come up with fabulous tasting dishes, enough to share with a group of people, and don't want to fail because of missing directions!!! Tyler, you're a ROCK STAR, Rock on!!!! Hope this helps!

I've made this dip several times and it's delicious and very easy to make. Like several other reviewers, I also used artichokes from a jar. I pressed them in a strainer to get rid of the excess liquid. In addition, I used double the crab meat to make it a thicker and heartier appetizer.

This dip was a hit at Thanksgiving. The only thing I changed was I used drained marinated artichoke hearts. Everything else was to the T and it came out perfect. Thanks Tyler!

This dip was delicious! I used fresh crab meat and I defrosted a box of frozen artichoke hearts. The kind in the jar would probably be too wet for this recipe. I used a bit more crab meat than the recipe called for as well. I omitted the lemon juice and for a bit more seasoning, I added a bit of garlic powder-- everything's better with a little bit of garlic, right?

This was recipe was fabulous. The only thing that I did differently was I used canned artichoke hearts but I still steamed them . Other than that I followed the recipe as written. This was the second recipe the I used from Tyler and I have to say it is very delicious.
