Ninth Street House Congealed Spinach Salad With Crabmeat Dressing Recipes

SOFT-SHELL CRAB SALAD WITH GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the green goddess dressing: Simply puree the ingredients together in a blender, until light green and creamy. Cover and stick the dressing in the fridge to allow the flavors to come together.
• To prepare the soft-shell crabs: Pour the buttermilk in a shallow bowl large enough to hold all the crabs. Season the buttermilk with crab boil seasoning, salt, and pepper. Lay the crabs in the buttermilk mixture and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour; soaking the crabs in buttermilk helps plump them up when cooked. Remove the crabs from the milk bath and let the excess drip off.
• Pour 2 inches of oil in a heavy frying pan or large pot and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Put the flour in a pie dish or plate and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper. Dredge the crabs in the seasoned flour to coat, shaking off the excess. Lay the crabs in the hot oil in a single layer without crowding; you may have to fry them in batches. Be careful, the crabs have a tendency to pop and spatter. Cook the crabs for about 3 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• To assemble the salad: combine the watercress, lettuce, and onion slices in a mixing bowl. Pour in 1/2 cup of the green goddess dressing, tossing to coat. Arrange the salad on a serving platter, put the fried crabs on top, and grate the hard boiled egg over the whole thing. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.

Fun Fact: There are actually several hundred cones of volcanoes in the Mexico area, but Parícutin is the only one known to have erupted. The worst of Parícutin's volcanic activity took place in 1943, with its lava rising to about fifty feet below the crater's rim. The volcano derives its famous name from the village of Parícutin, which now lies buried under its lava. The entire village was relocated to an uninhabited area nearby. Surprisingly, only three deaths have been registered in the entire history of volcanic eruptions of the Parícutin. Major volcanic activity of the Parícutin was witnessed until 1952. Today, the volcanic mountain stands at a height of 424 meters (1,391.08 ft). The hardened lava from Parícutin covers an area of ten square miles, and the volcano sand (fragments of volcano material) covers an area of twenty square miles. The city of Parícutin is located two hundred miles West of Mexico City. Ashes from Parícutin reached distances as far away as Mexico City.
