what is a good side dish for a crab quiche?

Question

preferably another french dish

Answer 1

To balance the weight and flavor of the quiche, how about roasted asparagus and rosemary with a small drizzle of white roux seasoned with rosemary and tarragon?

Trim and rinse asparagus. Place in a casserole dish with 2 tbsp. water. Drizzle or spray with a bit of olive oil. Sprinkle sea salt and rosemary (fresh is best, but dried will suffice).

Roast at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes (385 for 20 minutes if the asparagus stalks are very thin).

Prepare a roux -- 1 tbsp. flour, 1 tbsp. butter (if using unsalted butter, add a dash of sea salt). Whisk over low heat in a saucepan until smooth. Add a pinch of white pepper, 1/8 tsp. tarragon and 1/4 tsp. rosemary, whisking constantly. Very slowly add milk (between 1/2 and 3/4 cup), whisking to ensure a smooth consistency. Whisk in 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil.

Place a few spears of the roasted asparagus on each plate with your beautiful quiche as the focal point, and lightly drizzle a bit of the white roux on the asparagus. If you're using fresh rosemary, you may garnish each slice of crab quiche with a small sprig of it. Enjoy!

Answer 2

Shrimp And Crab Quiche

Answer 3

Potato Side Dish
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Yields: 8 servings

INGREDIENTS:
8 baking potatoes
1 cup butter, melted and cooled
to lukewarm 3 cups half-and-half cream
1 onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
1. Two days before serving, boil potatoes whole, with skins, until tender, about 25 minutes. When you can insert a fork and remove it easily, they are done. Drain, and refrigerate.
2. The day before serving, peel and grate the potatoes. I like to use a food processor with grating attachment. Place the potatoes into a large bowl and toss gently with melted butter, half-and-half, onion, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
3. The day of the meal, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 1 hour, uncovered. You may broil for a minute at the end to brown the top if you like.

Answer 4

Crab Quiche is basically eggs, diced onion, crab meat in a pie crust...a nice green vegetable
would compliment that dish such as sauteed, brocolli crowns or maybe french style green beans with pearl onions...Bon Apetit'!

Answer 5

I frequently serve any type of quiche with a aspect of fruit or a fruit salad. i imagine that cantaloupe and melons fairly bypass properly with quiche and casseroles. If I were serving this to travellers i ought to serve an collection of culmination (apples, melons, strawberries, pineapple, etc) with a fruit dip made up of cream cheese, powdered sugar and cool Whip OR marshmallow fluff and cool Whip. this is a delicious and clean meal for the nice and cozy summer season months :0)

Answer 6

Seafood Pasta salad.

take pasta and cook off - let cool

use whatever you like that would be good with crab such as shrimp, crawfish, maybe more crabmeat and a few veggies to mix altogether. You may want to go the light italian vinagrette way, but i am from the south and i would toss the pasta salad in something made from both mayo and cocktail sauce.- it would be the perfect seafood pasta salad :)

Answer 7

A potato gratin or some other vegetable. It would be a good side dish accompaniment.

Answer 8

A veg is a plant or part of a flower used as food

Answer 9

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Thus as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Answer 10

Perhaps it's just me, but I will eat a garden salad with any dish.
