From The Roasting Tin around the World by Rukmini Iyer
Ingredients
180g Philadelphia Cheese
1/2 tsp paprika
2-4 tbsp hot sauce (I used sriracha following the suggestion in the book)
1 large clove of garlic, grated
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1/2 lemon, juice only
2x145g tins of jumbo crabmeat, drained
1x420g sheet of puff pastry
A handful of finely grated parmesan
A handful of white breadcrumbs
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C fan/200C/gas 6.
1. Mix everything except the pastry, parmesan and breadcrumbs.
2. Cut the pastry into 8 rectangles and lay on a baking sheet in a shallow roasting tin.
3. Spread the crab meat over the pastry leaving 1cm at the borders.
4. Sprinkle over the parmesan and breadcrumbs.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Changes, Mistakens and Substitutions
Not many. The onion was not red and it turned out that the packet of puff pastry I had bought was 350g not 420g.
Verdict
It was nice. Quite hot, but that was probably because I put in the full 4 tbsps sriracha. I can't quite put my finger on why I'm not saying that I'll definitely put this into rotation since it's not that fiddly despite the puff pastry and wot not, but it feels more fancy than everyday for some reason.
