Crab Dip

My cousin Lia generously shared this with me. I don't care if my hips hate me later. My taste buds thank me with each bite.

Ingredients

1 lb. Dungeness crab meat, canned or fresh

12 oz. canned artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped

3 cups mayonnaise

½ lb. parmesan cheese, shredded (about 1 cup; can be a little generous with it, too)

½ Maui onion, finely diced (or use a regular onion...best if you can find a sweet type)

½ teaspoon white pepper

lemon wedges for garnish


Method

Drain crab meat and remove any shells. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Spoon into individual ramekins or large oven-proof casserole and heat in oven at 375° until mixture is bubbly and top is lightly browned (small ramekins could be heated under the broiler with rack in middle of oven). Serve with sliced French bread or sourdough bread. Garnish with lemon wedges.
