Warm Crab Spinach and Parmesan Dip featuring Knorr Homestyle Stock

With the Holiday season in full force, we are all enjoying Christmas parties with all the food and festivities that go with this time of year.  I just went to my sister’s Sunday morning class party on Sunday night and everyone brought appetizers.  So, I had the chance to try out a new dip recipe that caught my eye.  I found this one on grouprecipes.com and it sounded so good.

We all need a few appetizers and dips in our recipe arsenal and this one was very tasty and quite easy to put together.  With a combo of spinach and crab, I knew it had to be good.  I love both of those!  I once again pulled out my Knorr homestyle chicken stock for this one and it always adds flavor.

crab dip ingredients

Here are most of the ingredients needed.

sauteeing onions garlic

Saute the onions and garlic.

green onions

Along with the green chopped onions, let them cook down for a few minutes.

adding flour

Add the flour to thicken.

crab meat

Crab meat ready to stir in.

adding cream stock

Whisk in chicken stock and whipping cream.  You know, to make it decadent. I love dips, don’t you?

parmesan

Add the parmesan cheese and crab meat, stirring it all up.

crab and spinach

It’s nice and creamy and because it has spinach in it, you can convince everyone it is good for you.  Healthy dip!  🙂

I put it in a small crockpot to keep it warm and served with warm slices of toasted multi-grain baguette and it was so tasty and delicious.  I love eating appetizers and this one was a great addition to the party.  I hope you’ll give it a try!

And if you haven’t tried out Knorr’s Homestyle stock, what are you waiting for?

Warm Crab Spinach and Parmesan Dip

2 TBS. butter

2 TBS. olive oil

1 1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped green onion

6 large garlic cloves, minced

2 TBS. all purpose flour

1/2 cup chicken stock

1/2 cup whipping cream

1 can crab meat, drained, picked over

1 10 oz. pkg. frozen spinach, thawed & squeezed dry

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Toasted baguette slices

How to make:

Melt butter with oil in heavy pot over medium heat.

Add onions and garlic, saute until onion is tender, do not brown, about 6 minutes.

Add flour, stir 2 minutes.  Gradually whisk in stock and cream, bring to boil, whisking constantly.  Cook until mixture thickens, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat.  Stir in crab, spinach, cheese, sour cream, and cayenne.  Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to serving bowl.  Serve warm with toasted baguette slices.

I have one more Chef Marco Pierre White cookbook to giveaway to one of you, along with a yellow Knorr apron, so if you’d like to win this combo, all you have to do is leave a comment on THIS post!  I’ll choose a random winner in a few days. 

Happy Holiday Eating!!

    This looks absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try it … only, is it wrong if I make it just for me and eat the whole thing? Nobody else in my family likes spinach OR crab, lol.

    Just wanted to let you know that I made this dip for our office Christmas party and it was a hit. So delicious….

    For Christmas Eve… I used the same recipe and substituted a can of chopped artichoke hearts for the crab. It was delicious, too!

    I’ve been using the Knorr concentrated stock in several recipes and I love the convenience of it.

    Thanks for sharing the recipe.
