Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Lump crab meat
- 3 pieces Endive heads
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Carefully rinse the lump crab meat to remove any shell fragments. Drain well and set aside.
Trim the bases of the endive heads and separate the leaves. Choose 18 of the largest, most intact leaves and rinse them gently under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Gently fold the crab meat into the curry mixture, ensuring the crab is coated evenly while keeping the lumps intact for texture.
Add the chopped fresh cilantro to the crab mixture and stir lightly to distribute it throughout.
Spoon approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of the curried crab mixture onto the base of each endive leaf. Arrange the filled endive spears on a serving platter.
If desired, garnish each filled spear with a sprinkling of chopped chives for added color and flavor.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your ‘Curried Crab in Endive Spears’!
