Ingredients
- 200 grams Lump crab meat
- 3 pieces Endive heads
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Carefully rinse the lump crab meat to remove any shell fragments. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2
Trim the bases of the endive heads and separate the leaves. Choose 18 of the largest, most intact leaves and rinse them gently under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 4
Gently fold the crab meat into the curry mixture, ensuring the crab is coated evenly while keeping the lumps intact for texture.
Step 5
Add the chopped fresh cilantro to the crab mixture and stir lightly to distribute it throughout.
Step 6
Spoon approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of the curried crab mixture onto the base of each endive leaf. Arrange the filled endive spears on a serving platter.
Step 7
If desired, garnish each filled spear with a sprinkling of chopped chives for added color and flavor.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your ‘Curried Crab in Endive Spears’!
