New England Crab Roll Recipes

CRAB ROLLS

Steps:

• Toss the crabmeat in the melted butter. Mix all the remaining ingredients except for the buns in a large bowl. Fold the crabmeat into this.
• Grill or toast the buns; you can spread some butter on the buns first if you'd like. Fill with the crab mixture. Serve with pickles and potato chips.

CLASSIC CRAB ROLL RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• You will need a minimum of 4 hours but no more than 12 for pickling. Place the vinegar and sugar into a nonreactive saucepan and heat to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the salt and leave to cool (the vinegar does not need to be cold but must not be hot, or it will cook the vegetables).
• Place the carrot, red onion, and radish into a large glass or stainless-steel bowl and pour the cooled vinegar mixture over. Cover and leave to marinate for 4 hours.
• Stir the mayonnaise, lemon juice, zest, and hot sauce (if using) together in a small bowl.
• Lightly toast the hot dog buns or rolls, or place onto a heated grill or griddle pan for a few moments to lightly char.
• Check through the crabmeat carefully to make sure there are no broken bits of shell. Stir together the crabmeat, mayo, and chives, then add salt and pepper to taste. Tuck a couple of leaves into each of the rolls. Divide the crab mixture between the rolls and pile onto the leaves.
• Dress with a few pickles or serve on the side. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
