Spinach and Crab Dip

The timing of this recipe on my feed is perfect. I was planning on making crab omelette but when I saw Valerie Bertinelli’s video from FoodNetwork where she’s making this yummy dip, I wanted to make it too because not only it looked so appetizing to me, it seemed so easy to make and I happen to  have a pack of crab meat in the fridge and frozen spinach thawing, I  have all the ingredients on hand except for the Worcestershire sauce.

I don’t think it will make much of a difference without it.,..hmmm. Oh well, I wanted to make it and this didn’t stop me.I still have some home made bread and some tortilla wraps which I thought would be perfect for this delicious dip.

It’s like the universe was  telling me to make this yesterday…and so, I did. 😀

Let’s see, here are some things I did different in the recipe, just minor things:

Didn’t add Worcestershire sauce; added more cayenne pepper; added some turmeric; used less spinach, about 1/2 a cup of squeezed  spinach, definitely not a pound 😀 and lastly, I did not broil the crab dip in the oven- I thought since it’s for 15 minutes only, and I do not have anything to bake or wasn’t planning on baking anything yet, I’d skipped that step.

I just toasted the panko bread crumbs on another pan and spread it on top of the hot dip. 🙂

Happy Cooking!
