Answer 2

Crab and Cream Cheese Dip

1 pound crabmeat, any kind, picked free of shell
8 ounces cream cheese, in large dice
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, or to taste
2 tablespoons Creole mustard or other coarse mustard
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Place 1/2 the crabmeat in the bowl of a food processor. Add 1/3 of the cream cheese, hot sauce, Worcestershire, horseradish, mustard, 2/3 of the green onions, salt, and pepper. Puree, running the processor for about 15 seconds. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula, add 1/2 the remaining cream cheese, and puree until well blended, about 15 seconds. Stop and scrape the bowl again, add the remaining cream cheese, and process until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning. Fold in the remaining onions and crabmeat and serve as a dip. Or, to make canapes, reserve the remaining crabmeat, place the puree in a pastry bag, and pipe it onto crackers or toast points. Season the reserved crabmeat, and garnish the canapes with the crabmeat and the remaining green onions.

You can also do these variations of the recipe that you lost:

6-8 oz crab, real or imitation (surimi)
8 oz brick of cream cheese, left at room temp, to soften
Your favorite chunky salsa


6 oz sliced almonds, toasted in the oven
8 oz brick cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Apricot Jam, partially melted in the microwave

6 oz can tiny shrimp, drained and rinsed
8 oz brick cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Jalapeno Jelly, partially melted in the microwave

1/2 can Smokehouse almonds, any flavor, coarsely chopped
8 oz brick cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grape jelly and 1/4 cup chili sauce, melted on the stove and cooled completely and poured over the almonds on top of the cream cheese.........Enjoy!!!

Answer 5

I think that would be fine together, maybe try having a baguette that you've sliced and toasted as the way to eat the artichoke dip, so that it isn't crackers like the other appetizer. Also good to make two different dips as some people won't eat crab :)
