Crab Toasts with Sriracha Mayonnaise

Clarkson Potter
This is a wonderful appetizer using delicious crab meat and the Asian hot sauce, Sriracha. Sriracha is made from sun-dried chiles and garlic and is a very versatile condiment to have in the kitchen. The most popular brand in the U.S. is Rooster Sauce (Compare Prices) from Huy Fong Foods.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • **** Crab Toasts ****
  • 4 slices good sourdough bread
  • 3 tablespoons Sriracha Mayonnaise (recipe follows)
  • 8 ounces picked lump crabmeat, preferably peekytoe, picked over for bits of shell
  • Crushed red chile flakes, optional
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • **** Sriracha Mayonnaise ****
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup grapeseed or other neutral oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha

Preparation:

Make the crab toasts:

Toast the bread until golden brown. Cut each slice into 2-inch pieces. Gently fold the mayonnaise into the crabmeat until well mixed. Spoon the crab mixture into a serving bowl and set inside a larger serving bowl filled with ice to keep cold if desired. Garnish with chile flakes if desired. Serve with the lemon wedges and toasts.

For the mayonnaise:

Whisk together the yolk, mustard, and salt until well blended. Continue whisking while adding the oil in a slow, steady stream to emulsify the mixture. Whisk in the lemon juice and sriracha until well blended. The mayonnaise can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
