Rib steak with some sautéed mushrooms and mashed potatoes.
Wine pairing was a 2009 Antaño Rioja.

I''m going to try my best to make some bread similar to this as well.

I made about 4 dozen Potato and Cheese, and 3 dozen mushroom perogies this holiday season. I'm pretty excited to dig in, but am abstaining from eating any until the dinner.

Well /ck/ Ukrainian Christmas is starting January 6th - are you going to do anything to celebrate? Options include:
>Eating Perogies
>Getting Shittered on vodka
>Getting annexed

I'm probably going to have a few friends over and make a big ass Ukrainian dinner.

Thanks, it was pretty good. In hindsight a little heavy on garlic though

I served it with a cucumber/fennel salad - quite a refreshing lunch on a warm day (it was lunch when I made this)

add the crab/fennel mixture, topping with the aioli, a bit of freshly ground pepper, and left over fennel tops.

Lightly spread the aioli on the toasted bread and...

forgot pic

Mix the garlic and mayo together to make the aioli

Thanks for all the input guys

While waiting for the bread to toast, let's start the aioli - by cutting up some garlic

It's important to break the crab meat into smaller pieces

Add in some lemon juice and olive oil.

I didn't have lemon so I used lemon infused olive oil.

(support local businesses guys)

First thing is to cut the Bread in half and toast it on your barbecue/toaster/toaster oven.

Then mix together your fennel slices and crab

Sup /ck/, let's make some crostini
You will need:
1 Dungeness Crab (Shucked)
Half the tops from a bulb of a fennel
Lemon
Olive Oil
Mayonaise
Garlic

Have you ever heard of a crab trap? You stuff it full of salmon and wait until the crabs get caught in it.

Mine were in the Pacific

what're you talking about? I don't want those greasy yellow sponge organs, I never thought about crab stock though, thats a good idea, thanks.

I froze the left over legs so I can bring some to university. Gonna have a steak and crab night.

>>6806080
That's interesting. I may try that tomorrow. If anyone is interested I'll make another thread?

Hopefully I'm getting some more tomorrow

Anyone know some good crab recipes?

Thanks! It was really good. I love cooking with crab because it's always so fresh. Those buggers were living an hour or two before I ate them. I was going to do a crab ceviche but decided to do this instead.

I garnished with a little bit extra mint and served it with some corn and a beet salad.
I thought it was an appropriate Summer meal.
Would have paired nicely with some white wine. I highly recommend this, really interesting mix of flavours, never thought I'd find something with jalapeno and mint that would go well together.

Don't judge my dirty cutting board

Turn the heat off and add the mint, lemon juice, and pasta.
Mix it all together real good

>>6805995
juice a lemon

Here is what I do to clean them,
flip the crab on it's back and kind of stab it with a rock - this kills the crab instantly
after that I grab it by all the legs (claw included) and hit the shell on the side of a log or rock to rip off the shell and most of the innards.
Then it in break in half, and rinse in the ocean and pick off the lungs/gills.
I rinse them off when I get home and make sure there's no nasties sticking on to them still.

I live less than a kilometre away from the ocean - from leaving my door to getting back it takes around 45 minutes depending on the tides and winds and whatnot.

Thanks asshole


Cut up some mint and then...
