CRAB WON TONS

Category: Seafood

Filling
2-3 oz fresh spinach, trimmed and washed
1 tbsp butter
4 tbsp onion, chopped finely
3 oz cream cheese, cut into cubes
3 tbsp lemon juice and dried breadcrumbs
1/2 lb flaked, cooked crabmeat
Dash salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce

Wontons
3 dozen won ton wrappers
Vegetable oil to cover bottom of wok to 1/4 inch

Filling: Wash spinach, with water still clinging to leaves, place in large pan and over medium high heat. Cook until spinach just begins to wilt and most of water has evaporated. Empty onto cutting board and chop finely. Set aside.

Melt butter in a saute pan. Add onion and saute until transparent. Reduce heat to low; add cream cheese. When cheese begins to soften, add lemon juice to blend. Remove from heat and stir in crab, breadcrumbs and spinach.

Wontons: Place 1-2 tsp filling in each wrapper and seal according to package directions. Place a single layer of wontons in hot oil and fry 2-3 minutes until golden. Drain on paper bags or paper towels and serve immediately.
