Charleys Crab Marthas Vineyard Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Oven: 350 degrees If using frozen crab meat, be sure it is completely thawed and very well drained. Melt butter in a saucepan and saute celery and shallot until just tender (about 2 minutes), then blend in flour and seasonings and cook an additional 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Gradually add milk and cook, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm. Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored and gradually stir into sauce. Add wine, crab meat and lemon juice. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff. Add about one-quarter of the whites to crab mixture and stir in well. Then gently fold (do not stir) remaining egg whites into mixture. Pour into a well-buttered souffle dish or 1 1/2 quart casserole. Set dish in a pan of hot water and bake for about 45-50 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serves four.
