Ingredients
24 oz cream cheese
2 tbsp mayonnaise, the real thing
1 dash tabasco
1/4 cup green onions, minced
1/4 cup celery, coarsely chopped
1 dash paprika
1 salt and pepper, to taste
1 can black olives, finely chopped (16 oz. ca
1/2 lb crabmeat, flaked
1 nacho cheese flavor doritos
Directions
The best way to prepare this recipe in a food processor, because
it chops the ingredients finely enough and blends them together for
you. But if a food processor is not handy, you can use a blender and
a chef's kniofe. It will still come out great, no matter how you do
it!
First, mix the cream cheese to a pasty consistency. It has to be
soft and pliable. THen, in a large mixing bowl, whip together the
cheese and the mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth. Toss in the
Tabasco at this point and blend it in, too. Next, add the minced
onions, the celery, the seasonings, the finely chopped black olives,
and the crabmeat. Just put them all together -- it's not necessary to
add them one at a time. But is *is* necessary to blend them all
*gently*. If you get rough, you'll smash the ingredients and you'll
lose the crispness.
When you're ready to serve, lay out the *whole* bag of Doritos on
a pizza pan and stuff each one, heaping on the crabmeat mixture and
sprinkling the tops with paprika. To increase the flavor, put the
stuffed chips in the refrigerator for an hour or two. Author's note:
...While crabmeat is used in the original dish, you can also
substitute chopped shrimp or crawfish for the crabmeat, and the basic
mix is also excellent for stuffing avocados, tomatoes, celery stalks,
and just about anyting your taste dictates. Note from me: I don't
care for Nacho Cheese Flavor Doritos but instead these are great with
the unsalted style chips you get with salsa at Mexican restaurants.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the ancient chefs used a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know like thyme, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
