2 teaspoons olive oil
½ large red onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
1 pound white mushrooms, coarsely chopped (about 6 cups)
1 cup apple cider

Crab Salad in Crisp Wonton Cups

Ellie Krieger

Ingredients:
For the wonton cups
Cooking spray
18 wonton cups, thawed if frozen
2 teaspoons canola oil
¼ teaspoon salt

For the dressing
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil

For the salad
½ pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells
1 stalk celery, finely diced
½ cup peeled and finely diced ripe mango
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions (white and green parts)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat the oven to 375*F. Coat two mini-muffin tins with cooking spray.

To make the wonton cups, brush both sides of the wonton wrappers with the canola oil and place each wrapper into a section of mini-muffin tin. Gently press each wrapper into the tin and arrange so that it forms a cup shape. The wrapper will stick up out of the cup. Sprinkle with the salt and bake until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cups to cool, then remove from the tin. These can be prepared the day before and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

To make the dressing, whisk together the lime juice and zest, the salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Add the olive oil and whisk until well combined.

To make the salad, in a medium bowl, gently toss together the crabmeat, celery, mango, scallions, and cilantro, trying not to break up the crab too much. Add the dressing and gently toss to combine. This can be prepared the day before and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Fill each cup with the crab salad and serve immediately

Beefy Spinach Crescent Loaf

1 package PILLSBURY Crescent Rolls Reduced fat
Beef, ground, 90% lean meat 4 oz
About 1/4 cup of Tomato paste
About 1 tsp basil, onion powder, oregano
About 2 tsp garlic powder
1-2 cups of raw spinach (I used about 1/3 of a bag so however much that is)
1 small-medium tomato diced
2 oz Cheese, mozzarella, part skim milk

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Roll out the crescent rolls on a cookie sheet. Press to seal the perforations. Bake the crescent rectangle in the preheated 375 degree oven for a few minutes. The goal here isn’t to cook it all the way but just enough so it holds together and still rolls nicely.

While it’s cooking brown the ground beef.

Smear the tomatoes paste on the roll and sprinkle with the dry spices. Layer the spinach, ground beef, diced tomatoes and cheese. Start from one end and begin to roll. It’s going to feel like you can’t do it but keep the roll loose. Then let the weight of it hold it together.

Sprinkle the roll with a bit of garlic powder and basil. Bake for about 10-15 minutes.
