    (Makes 36 mini quiches)

    ¾ cup mayonaise
    4½ eggs, beaten
    ⅓ cup milk
    ⅓ cup of cream
    1½ cups crab meat
    1½ cups Ementhaler Cheese (or Swiss cheese), shredded
    3 shallots, finely chopped
    ¾ red pepper, finely chopped
    1½ celery, finely chopped
    6 green onions, diced
    ⅓ cup parsley, finely chopped
    1½ tblsp dijon mustard, whole grain
    3 tsp smoked paprika
    1½ tsp old bay seasoning


    NOTES:
     

    Mix in a large bowl, the eggs, mayo, mustard, spices, cream and milk.
    Stir in the crab meat, shredded cheese and vegetables.

    Spoon into a muffin pan, about ⅓ filled. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick inserted into the center, comes out clean.

    Run a butter knife lightly around the edges to loosen the mini quiche and flip out to cool on a wired rack for a few minutes before serving.

  • Coleslaw (mayo based)

    Coleslaw (mayo based)
    (Serves 4)

    10 oz thinly sliced green cabbage
    1 medium carrot, shredded
    2 oz Purple cabbage, thinly shredded, optional
    ¾ cup of mayonnaise
    ¼ cup sour cream
    3 tsp sugar
    4 tsp apple cider vinegar
    ¼ tsp white pepper
    ¼ tsp salt

    NOTES: For best results make a day in advance. If you are adding purple cabbage, be aware after 3 days all the mayo will start to turn purple, especially if there is more purple cabbage then what is called for.

    In a large bowl, combine the cabbages, carrots, mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, vinegar, pepper and salt. Mix well. Let stand ½ hour before tasting and adjusting any seasoning. I like my coleslaw the next day, but if you let it rest for a few hours, it should be fine. Enjoy!

  • Poke (Tuna)

    Poke - Tuna
    Poke (Tuna)
    (Serves 4)

    1 lb Tuna, sushi grade, medium dice
    ¾ - 1 tblsp Soy Sauce
    4 tsp Rice Wine Vinegar
    2 tsp Mirin (Japanese rice wine)

    2 tsp Sesame Oil
    2 tsp Sambal Oelek (Chili Paste)
    2 tsp lemon juice
    1 scant tsp sugar
    1 pinch sea salt
    1 tblsp Mayonnaise
    2 small thai chilis, minced, optional
    1/2 Avocado, diced small, optional

    Sprinkle over the top
    1 tsp Black Sesame Seeds, optional
    2 or 3 small sheets, Nori, toasted snipped into thin strips, optional
    1 tblsp green onion, sliced thin
    1-2 tsp Tobiko, optional

    NOTES: You can substitute Sriracha for Sambal Oelek, just add a touch more of rice wine vinegar. A susbtitute for Mirin could be a dry sherry with a ¼ tsp of sugar added or a sweet marsala wine or even a dry white wine with a ¼ tsp sugar added. I don't reccommend the dark soy sauce, as it muddies up the look, (although the flavors fine!)
     

    Mix the soy sauce, mirin, rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt, sesame oil, lemon juice and chili sauce together mix until the sugar and salt dissolve. Set aside half of this mixture.

    Add the diced tuna and mayo to half of the mixture, mix well, now mix in the green onions and chilis if your using them. Taste, adjust with more of the mix if it's needed.

    Let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, up to an hour. Remove from fridge, mix in the chopped avocado, taste and adjust with more of the mix if it's needed, or a little more mayo or Sambal Oeelek depending on your taste, top with the remaining ingredients if you're using them.

    Enjoy on it's own or serve with Sushi rice or even with some toasted nori squares. Yum!
