mishalakInteresting dinner. I'm raiding the larder for a variety of things. I opened a package of the fake crab meat product that I bought on sale quite some time ago. I made a marvelous sort of salad with it on Friday and I'm using up the last of it now.
Mishalak Style Crab
Put a large slug of olive oil in a warm pan. No, no, much larger than that. I'm talking three or maybe four tablespoons worth. There has to be enough to go with the three tablespoons of garlic. You're going to cook it gently, not so hot that the garlic is hissing and spattering the oil about. No the goal is just to mellow the garlic a bit, get it to being about two shades darker. Then throw in the little bits of the fake crab, two handfulls. Stir it around with the oil and garlic to get a good coat and heat it up. Finally add about two tablespoons of good peach preserves. I see shock in the audience, but I swear that garlic, peaches, and olive oil are fantastic together. It goes on crab, it works with ramen. And as I keep testing there is little that it doesn't work on so far.
Now I'm going to have some vegetables.
