All I can say is that if you don't own this
magnificent book,
my heart bleeds for you...
1 cup mayonnaise,
preferably homemade
1/3 cup Creole mustard*
1/4 cup prepared
horseradish, drained
1 generous tablespoon
minced green onion, with some green
1 tablespoon finely
minced parsley
1 hard-cooked egg,
finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon
juice
1 1/2 teaspoons minced
capers, plus extra whole ones for garnish
4 or more cups mixed
salad greens, cut into thin strips
3 cups back fin lump
crabmeat, picked over
1 lemon, cut into 6
wedges
Mix mayonnaise,
mustard and horseradish well, then add green onion, parsley, chopped egg,
lemon juice and minced capers. Mix well.
To assemble, place
shredded greens on individual plates with a serving
of crabmeat in the
center of each. Top with sauce and a sprinkling of
whole capers and
garnish each with a lemon wedge. Serves 6.
* Note:
If you can’t find real Creole mustard, you can substitute
grainy
German mustard or grainy Dijon-style mustard mixed with a bit of
horseradish. The
ratio I use is about 1/4 teaspoon horseradish to 1
teaspoon mustard.
