GARLIC BREAD

1 tsp dried parsley

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet, saute onion, garlic, green bell peppers, and celery in olive oil for 15 minutes over medium-low heat. Do not let garlic burn. Add ale to deglaze. Add remaining ingredients, except crab and cheese, and cook over medium low heat for 15 minutes. Add water if necessary to prevent burning. Add crab meat, and stir to combine. Saute another 10-15 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, prepare slaw. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. In a large bowl, combine salad, bacon bits, and green onions. Add dressing mixture and toss to combine.
  • 3. Melt butter, vermouth, garlic powder, and parsley flakes in a pan over low heat. DO not allow to brown. Brush sides of bread slices with mixture and toast in the oven until lightly brown. When done, use a knife to cut a pocket into each slice.
  • 4. To assemble: Spoon a small amount of slaw in the bottom. Top with a generous portion of crab filling. Sprinkle with cheese. Place under the broiler for 30 seconds-1 minute or until cheese melts. DO NOT LET THIS BURN. Top with more slaw and serve!
