Subject: garlic crabs
can you find a recipe for garlic crabs like they serve in the
restaurants thanks
Hi,
Sure can. See below. There are many different varieties of crab dishes called
"garlic crabs". Hope one of these suits.

Oven Baked Garlic Crabs (Cajun)
Prep Time: 1 Hour Serves: 4-6
Comment:
This crab recipe calls for forty cloves of garlic. Once the cloves
have been sauteed in the butter sauce and baked with the crabs,
they become quite sweet and perfect for spreading on French bread
along with the butter, dipped from the baking pan.
Ingredients:
1 dozen hardshell crabs, cleaned
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 pound melted butter
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 cup olive oil
2 bay leaves
40 cloves of garlic
Worcestershire sauce to taste
1/4 cup chopped onions
Louisiana Gold Pepper Sauce to taste
1/4 cup chopped celery
salt & cracked black pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
French bread for dipping
Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large saute pan melt butter
over medium high heat. Add olive oil to the butter as this will
help flavor the crabs and keep the butter from burning. Add garlic,
onions, celery, bell pepper, green onions, parsley and bay leaves.
Stir the mixture constantly to keep the garlic cloves from scorching.
This is very important since garlic which is over-browned will take
on a bitter taste. Add Worcestershire sauce, Louisiana Gold and season
to taste using salt and pepper. Place the crabs in a large casserole
dish with one to two inch lip and cover with garlic butter mixture.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, remove and serve warm with hot French bread.

Hobo Farm Garlic Crabs
24 blue crabs
salt and pepper to taste
6 cloves garlic, slivered
6 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups water
melted butter for dipping
Remove top shells, front plates and bottom flaps of crabs.
Remove anything that is not white meat. Leave the large claws
attached to the bodies. Place crabs in a large pot in four layers,
sprinkling each layer with salt, pepper, garlic slivers, ginger and
one tablespoon olive oil. Pour in water and cover. Steam for 8 to 10
minutes or until claws turn red. Serve crabs and broth with melted
butter for dipping. Serves 4.
The secret ingredient in this recipe is the crystallized ginger,
sometimes called candied ginger because the ginger slices have
been preserved in a sugar-salt mixture. Crystallized ginger can
be found in Asian markets and many supermarkets.
-------------------------------
Garlic Crabs for 4-5
1 dozen crabs, cleaned and separated into right and left halves. Claws cracked.
1 lb butter
1 head garlic, cloves peeled and sliced.
2 -3 Tbs Old Bay Seafood seasoning (crab boil)
In a skillet or sauté pan big enough to hold all the crab,
melt the butter, add the garlic and 1/2 Old Bay.
Let that sit for awhile - maybe 30 min.
Add crabs, the rest of the Old Bay, cover and simmer 35 min,
stirring occasionally.
Serve as is with plenty of napkins and French bread to sop up the butter.

Subject: Pork Chop Recipe
Hi again Phaed;
This time I have lost a recipe for pork chops . In the ingredients
there was a naval orange and a blood orange and they were cooked in
such a way that when served they looked like flower petals on top of
the chops.
Whichever cooking magazine I got this from and it was last October
that I made them, I know there was a picture of those pork chops. I
do hope it can be found or at least something close.
Thanks for your help, and all the best.
Jeannie :)

Subject: Sub: WWII Oatmeal cookies using chicken fat
I am inquiring about a recipe for mother. She said that during WWII,
there was a recipe published, she believes in Woman's Day, that called
for using chicken fat in making an Oatmeal cookie. She said that this
was because so much of the cooking oils were going for uses during WWII.
She said that the cookie was very good, and has lost the recipe.
Can you help??? Thank you in advance.
Hi Lady Q,
I don't know if the one below is the same one your mother had, but it's the only oatmeal cookie recipe
I could find that used chicken fat.

I am looking for a recipe for Armadillo Balls.
I believe it is an appetizer.
Hi S.N.
Right you are. See below.
Phaed
Armadillo Balls
Bite-sized balls of sausage and cheese flavored dough hiding a surprise
slice of jalapeno pepper.
1 pound Cheddar cheese, grated
1 pound good quality pork sausage (Bob Evans recommended)
2 cups baking mix (like Bisquick®) (make your own)
1 jar (10 oz) jalapeno pepper slices
1 envelope Shake-n-Bake for pork (original)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl mix together the
cheese and sausage until well blended. You really need to use your
hands to do this well. Add the baking mix and mix well.
Remove about 50 slices of jalapeno pepper from the jar, shake off the
liquid and set on paper towels to absorb excess liquid.
To form each Armadillo Ball, take a chunk of the dough mixture about
the size of a whole walnut, maybe a little bigger. Pat it into a
flat patty. Place a slice of jalapeno pepper in it. Fold up the edges
around the pepper and seal well. Roll into a ball between your hands,
pressing firmly.
After all the balls have been formed, pour the Shake-n-Bake into a
small bowl. Roll the balls in it and place on a cookie sheet, about
1 inch apart.
Bake at 325 for 20 - 25 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown.
Drain on paper towels. These are good served hot, warm or room
temperature.
Yield: about 50 balls.
To freeze: Freeze before baking by placing them on a cookie sheet and
place the cookie sheet in the freezer until the balls are solid.
Then pour into freezer bags for storage. Bake them frozen (they may
take an additional 5 minutes).
