| 1148.1 | CRAB STUFFED CHERRY TOMATOES | BAGELS::GLENN | Glenn Christensen, SCS/NSD, Dtn:226-5553, Loc:LKG2-A/W2 | Thu May 05 1988 17:29 | 27 |
| Karen,
Here's one that I have used at any number of parties and goes
over VERY well. I have made it two days ahead of time, but not
any earli. I know it is crab, but it's not a lot of crab, and it
goes a LONG way. It can be served either hot or cold (I serve it
cold).
CRAB STUFFED CHERRY TOMATOES
1 pint cherry tomatoes 1/4 c. finely chopped green
1 can (5 oz) crab meat,rinsed, pepper
drained, cartilage removed 1/2 tsp parsley flakes
2 green onions finely chopped 1/4 tsp dill weed, optional
1 tsp white wine vinegar 2 tbsp seasoned dry bread crumbs
Cut stem end from tomatoes and scoop out pulp. Combine remaining
ingredients in small mixing bowl. Stuff tomatoes with crab mixture.
For heated serving: Place tomatoes on paper towel-lined plate,
with smaller tomatoes toward center. Microwave at High 2 to 4 minutes,
or until heated through, rotating plate once or twice. Sprinkle
with paprika.
For cold serve: Sprinkle with paprika, cover with plastic wrap,
and refrigerate until needed.
Yield: serves 5 people 5 tomatoes....I have found it to serve more.

Re: .1
Good idea!! I can stuff them with other things to such as
chive cottage cheese, ham salad, chicken salad!
Keep the ideas coming!

| Cherry tomatoes are not the only thing to stuff. Try removing the
seeds from a cucumber, leaving you only a long tube. This works
best with an apple corer.Fill it with whatever salad
(egg, chicken,tuna,etc) you want and slice it across the grain.
One little trick is to add pimento or black olives to whatever you
fill your vegetables with for color.
This works also for zucchini and summer squash.

| Or you could get party toothpicks and stick a cube of cheese, an
olive, cherry tomato, etc. on it. Might look pretty and it's something
people can just pick up and eat.
You could also have a 'party mix' : goldfish, pretzels, unsalted
p-nuts, and popcorn. (The pretzels and goldfish have enough salt
on them already).
Should be an interesting reception! Have Fun!

| Re: .1
First, a question: Should the tomato pulp be included in the crab
mixture? I assumed not but the mixture seemed to need moisture
-- only my personal preference.
On the other hand, never being one to shy away from modifying a
good recipe, I used this mixture to stuff mushroom caps (didn't
have any cherry tomatoes handy) and my guests loved it.
