I don't know about you, but when January arrives I find myself craving foods that are fresh, simple, and light. Perhaps it has something to do with over indulging myself during the holidays. With that being said, our Sunday dinner needed a fresh update, and these Crab Puffs were just that. These little bites are flaky, full of flavor, and the lemon juice gives it a fresh kick. A perfect way to start a meal, and if you can believe it, kid approved! The kids loved them just as much as the adults. Which is a huge plus in my book. So easy and delicious.
Crab Puffs
1 box puff pastry cups, thawed overnight in refrigerator
1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
3 green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of red pepper flake
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the puff pastry cups as directed on the box. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the crab meat, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Set aside. In a medium saute pan, over medium-low heat, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Add in the green onions and saute about 5 minutes, or until tender. Add in the garlic, cook for another minute. Stir in the curry powder. Now, add in the crab mixture and then put in a pinch of red pepper flake. Cook for another minute then remove from heat. Put about a tablespoon of crab mixture in each pastry cup. Place the cups back in the oven for about 11 minutes. Remove and serve.
