Comments
• After an unconventional Thanksgiving with the family featuring succulent Dungeoness crab instead of turkey, we brought home a large box of crab parts. This recipe was inspired by the Thanksgiving leftover crab and turned out to be excellent.
Wine and Beverage Pairing
• Prosecco di Valdobbiadene, Vermentino Maremma Toscana IGT Bianco d'Elisa, Arneis Langhe DOC.
