• Add the diced tomato, shredded cabbage and crab meat; stir.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs together with the milk and salt.
• Add the beaten egg mixture to the skillet.

JUMBO LUMP CRAB TACO, PICKLED CHILES AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the crab, chives, lime zest and juice, freshly cracked black pepper, to taste, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and pickled chiles. Carefully toss to combine and taste. Season with salt and extra-virgin olive oil, if needed.
• To a bowl, add the garlic, salt and black pepper, to taste, lime juice, avocado, and a little drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving the guacamole a little chunky. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
• Put a little blended oil into a medium pot over medium-high heat and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Using a thin, wooden rolling pin, put the wonton wrapper around the end of the rolling pin and pinch with tongs. Put the end into the heated oil and allow to fry. Once the taco begins to crisp and hold its shape, remove the rolling pin. Allow to fry until puffy and slightly browned on all sides, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining wontons. Drain the shells on paper towels.
• Put 3 dollops of the guacamole on the plate. This will help hold the tacos upright. Top each mound with a taco shell to hold in place. Fill the taco shells with the crab salad. Top each with a couple pickled onions and freshly picked cilantro leaves.
• Pack the chiles into 2 (1-quart) jars and cover them with water to come within 1/2-inch of the rim. Pour the water out into a measuring cup. Note the volume, pour off half the water, and replace it with sherry vinegar. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons salt for every 3 cups liquid.
• Pour the vinegar mixture into a nonreactive saucepan and add the bay leaves, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, cumin seeds, marjoram, and garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Pour the hot liquid into the jars to cover the peppers, and screw on the lids. Refrigerate for up to 1 month.
• Pack the onions in 2 (1-quart) jars and cover the water to come within 1/2-inch of the rim. Pour the water out into a measuring cup. Note the volume, pour off half of the water and replace it with vinegar. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons salt for every 3 cups of liquid.
• Pour the vinegar mixture into a nonreactive saucepan, add the mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, garlic, and bay leaves, and bring to a boil over high heat. Allow the liquid to boil for 2 minutes, and then remove it from the heat.
• Pour the hot liquid into the jars to cover the onions and screw on the lids. Refrigerate for up to 1 month.

DUNGENESS CRAB TACOS WITH RADISHES

Steps:

• Set aside 1 tsp (5 mL) of lemon juice for the avocado. Mix remaining juice with lemon zest, miso paste, mustard, honey, and canola oil in a blender to make the dressing. Mash avocado with a fork. Season with 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Mix about 1/4 cup (60 mL) dressing into the crab meat and taste, adjusting as needed. Refrigerate the remaining dressing for up to two weeks - it works great on salads.
• To serve, put crab meat mixture into the wonton shells so they are bursting. Spoon the avocado mixture onto a plate and place assembled tacos on top. Garnish with radish slices and sprouts.
