Corn and Crab Dip

Appetizers

The corn and crab bisque served at our restaurants is a recipe that we have been serving from day one. As with the oyster and artichoke dip, this dish gets it’s inspiration from my restaurant’s top soup offering.

1 /4 cup sour cream

1 egg

1 /2 cup Pepper jack cheese, grated

1 /2 cup Monterey Jack Cheese, grated

1 /4 cup Parmesan, grated

1 /4 cup green onions, minced

1 /2 cup green bell pepper, diced

2 tsp garlic, minced

2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed

1 tsp hot sauce

2 tsp Creole mustard

1 cup Corn, freshly cooked, or frozen

1 pound crab claw meat, free of shells

1 tsp salt

1 /2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, mix the Blue Plate Mayonnaise, sour cream and egg together. Add remaining ingredients, except for crab and mix until thoroughly blended. Gently fold in the crab meat.

Place in a 1 1 /2-quart buttered baking dish and bake 20-25 minutes, until bubbly.

Serve with crackers, French bread croutons, or herbed pita triangles.

Yield: 1 quart

Orange and Bourbon Glazed Duck for Drew

My brother Drew and I were always wound up on Christmas Eve. He was four years older, but you’d never know it by how excited we both were. He’d be bouncing off the walls, too keyed up to sleep, while I’d follow his lead like I always did. When we finally did drift off, it wouldn’t be long before he’d shake me awake before dawn, eyes shining like he hadn’t slept a wink. Those early mornings felt like magic. Now, Christmas means he’s usually out duck hunting in the Delta, his favorite place on earth. He loves the hunt and the calm that comes with being out in the field before the sun rises. I thought of him when I put together this recipe. It’s a little bit of Drew—those wild December mornings in the Delta and the quiet way he’s always looked out for me.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
