So as you saw on Sunday, I made crab cakes for the first time ever...and they were delicious! However, I'm not that into frying things (I hate popping grease, it's scary!) so I decided to figure out some other way to cook the renaming crab meat. Like magic, the idea of a crab and sausage stuffing popped into my head. I also decided to bake some yams as a side. Perhaps I was subconsciously craving Thanksgiving in July? Anyhoo, I started off with the yams, as they would take the longest. I sliced three large yams and coated them with a half cup of melted butter (I use Earth Balance) a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar, and maple syrup (I would recommend actual 100% maple syrup). I also used a tablespoon of butter to coat the pan. I put my yam mixture in the pan, covered it with foil, and baked it for forty-five minutes.
Next step was the stuffing. I make my own and use stove top. For
my stuffing, I boil a couple of chopped celery stalks and about a cup of chopped onion in two and a half cups of chicken stock in a medium sauce pan. I then crumble some cornbread (I use one box of jiffy) into it and stir until nicely mixed. I then make a box stove top according to the directions. While I'm doing this, I'm also heating up my crab mixture and sausage ( I'm used two chicken andouille sausage links I got from Safeway) in a large wok. After the sausage and crab mixture is thoroughly heated through, I combine the stuffing(s) into the wok with the crab and sausage and serve.
