Ingredients

• 400 grams fresh crab meat
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 leeks (white and light green parts only)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 120 milliliters dry white wine
• 200 milliliters heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 crusty bread or cooked pasta (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the leeks thinly and rinse them thoroughly to remove any grit. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced leeks and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate and the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5

Add the crab meat to the skillet and stir gently to coat the meat with the sauce. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the crab is heated through.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 8

Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping, or spoon over cooked pasta for a heartier meal.
