Baked Cromer Crab With Brie

[Bob48]

a new week and a new recipe , this one is dead easy , and although it say " with Brie " there is nothing to stop you from using Camembert , enough rattling so here we go ,

what you need for two , 2 medium dressed Cromer crabs

1 red onion sliced ( so that you get " half moons " )

handful of coriander leaves torn  or flat leaf parsley if you cant get coriander.

butter

double cream (get a small pot ) and use about half to 3/4

Brie or Camembert 

small glass of white wine , ( i prefer to use a medium dry )

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper .

HOW TO DO IT .

melt a good knob of butter over a low heat and add the sliced onion cook gentle until just soft then add the coriander, wine ,and cream. heat very gently then add all of the meat from the 2 Crabs , ( keep the shells ) heat until the mixture just starts to bubble , ( you don't want it to burn )  take of the heat , leave for a couple of minutes while you wash out the crab shells and have a glass of wine ,    make 2 doughnut shapes out of tin foil and place them on a baking sheet , put the crab shells on these then carefully split the meat mixture between the two shells , turn on you over at about 100* c , , put a centre slice of your cheese on the top of your crabs , and place in the oven , for about 5 minutes , just long enough to melt the cheese but not long enough to toast it , serve with  green salad and crusty bread , Bon Apetit , this doesn't take long to make at all if you are having more than 2 people just add another crab a bit more wine and a bit more cream .  wonderful food for a summers day , can be enjoyed with a host of different white wines .

Sound yummy Bob.

I do like your cooking methods where you leave room part way through for a glass of wine.

It also ensures none goes to waste (as if ) 

 

not or long now for your holiday, hope you have a great time

i find it to be the best way deebee, there is always time for a glass of wine , it makes cooking so much more pleasurable .none ever goes to waste , as for our holiday , it starts this Friday so there will be no new recipe next week . i have decided that when we get back i'll post one recipe every week  right through the year so there will be seasonal  foods and favourites as well as some more interesting recipes . i was going to write a recipe book ,but all of that wine has an impact on my writing abilities 

stay safe, see you on the water

who would like to watch me make this on a boat ? the reason i ask is because i did it on Wednesday at Ranworth, with the obligatory glass of wine of course .

 

[Bound2Please]

In my opinion an utter waste of the delicate flavour of the crab....

Just my tuppence worth Charlie

I think it sounds like perfect boat food and I, for one, will be giving it a go when we are next up.

been on Youtube , and for the first part of cooking the crab , which is only 55 seconds long it's going to take almost 20 minutes to upload , is this a normal occurance ?

It entirely depends on your upload speed, Bob, I upload 500,000Mbs in under 4 mins.

Try this test but don't bother about the instructions, just click on 'yes' that you've done them at the bottom of the page.
