WARM CRAB TARTLETS

Steps:

• For the crust: Combine the flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times.
• Add the cold butter and pulse until the bits of butter are the size of peas. Add the cold water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between, until the dough comes together. It will be a bit lumpy.
• Shape the dough into a rectangle, then wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the dough on a floured work surface and roll out to a 8 X 20 inch rectangle.
• Trim the rough edges. Then cut down the center lengthwise. Cut each strip into 5 pieces creating 10- 4 inch squares of dough.
• Fold each square and place them into muffin tins. Press the centers down to the bottom and press the folds into the sides. Prick the bottoms of the shells several times with a fork.
• Bake the shells for 15 minutes. Then cool a little.
• In the meantime, combine the cream and eggs in a medium sized bowl. Whisk until smooth. Then stir in the rest of the ingredients.
• Scoop the crab mixture into each shell evenly.
• Bake for about 20 minutes-until the tops are firm and slightly golden.
• Serve warm!

EASY CRAB TORTELLINI

Steps:

• Crush crackers into a bowl. Add egg, mascarpone cheese, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce; stir until combined. Let sit until crumbs have absorbed some moisture, about 5 minutes.
• Add crab meat, seafood seasoning, salt, cayenne pepper, and jalapeno to the cracker mixture; stir until just combined. Wrap and chill in the refrigerator until flavors develop, about 1 hour.
• Place a wonton wrapper on a work surface to resemble a diamond shape. Wet the top 2 edges with just enough water to moisten. Place 1 tablespoon crab filling right in the center and press to spread it out a bit. Pull the bottom wonton corner up and over the filling, line it up with the top corner to form a triangle, and work your way down the sides, pressing and sealing the wonton edges and pushing out any air. Press your finger right in the center of the long side to create a fold (or bend) in the triangle. Moisten the 2 "wings" and fold around the bend to seal. Repeat to form remaining tortellini.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
• While waiting for water to boil, place creme fraiche in a skillet over medium heat. Add paprika, lemon zest, salt, and a splash of the pasta water. Cook and stir until heated through and just starting to simmer, then turn off the heat and reserve.
• Add tortellini to the boiling water, giving a gentle stir make sure they don't stick to the bottom. Cook for 1 minute; they may or may not float to the surface. Remove tortellini with a slotted spoon and transfer into the reserved sauce.
• Turn heat to medium-high and cook, gently stirring and basting, until sauce is heated through and just starts to simmer. Don't overcook or the sauce will reduce too much. Turn off the heat and stir in dill. Serve immediately on warm plates and sprinkle with additional dill and cayenne.

SPANISH CRAB TARTLET

Steps:

• Fry the onion in the olive oil until soft but not browned. Add garlic and continue frying another 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook until wine is almost absorbed/evaporated. Remove from heat.
• Make the filling by whisking the egg, then mixing in the cream. Add the crab, cheese, parsley, and onions. Mix. Set aside.
• Make the dough by mixing the flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes. Use fingers to squeeze the butter into the flour by grabbing chunks of flour and butter and squeezing to combine. Continue until it looks like a bunch of small bread crumbs.
• Add water a little at a time, continuing to squeeze as before, until the flour and water form a stiff dough.
• Dust a counter with flour and roll the dough into a thin sheet. Use a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter to cut circles of dough. Place these into a muffin tin to form the crust of the tartlets. When you run out of dough to cut, collect the scraps, re-roll them and cut more circles. You should get close to 24.
• Pour the filling evenly into each tartlet. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes. They should be set and golden-brown in color.
