Curried Crab Spread

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 24 servings.
At holiday time, I always have cream cheese and crabmeat on hand. In case of drop-ins, I just mix up an easy spread by adding mango chutney and spices. —Jennifer Phillips, Goffstown, New Hampshire

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 can (6 ounces) lump crabmeat, drained
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup mango chutney
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro or chives
  • Assorted crackers

Directions

  • 1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, lemon zest, curry powder, salt and, if desired, chili sauce; gently fold in crab. Shape into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
