Crab and Artichoke Dip
This dip has evolved over the years with input from the whole family; our take on Maryland Crab Dip. A favorite with Friday night finger foods. Layered dips can be a bit tricky carb counting so we’ve shown CHO for both components and the whole dip.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (115 gr) cream cheese 7.66 CHO
- 1 can (170 gr) Ocean’s Crab 0 CHO
- 213 ml (225 gr) can Hunt’s Tomato Sauce 8.52 CHO
- 6 oz. (170 ml) Scarpone’s Marinated Artichokes, drained and chopped (7 CHO/1/2 cup/125 ml). 100 gr after drained 5.6 CHO
- ½ cup (38 gr) grated cheese 0 CHO
TOTAL CHO 21.78 CHO
- TOTAL WEIGHT COOKED 493 GRAMS
- 21.78 DIVIDED BY 493 GRAMS = .044 CHO/GRAM
- 1 TBSP = 17 GRAMS (.044 CHO x 17 GRAMS) .748 CHO/TBSP
- ¼ CUP = 4 TBSP (.748 CHO x 4) 2.99 CHO/1/4 CUP
CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE ONLY = 288 GRAMS
- 13.26 CHO DIVIDED BY 288 GRAMS = .046 CHO/GRAM
- 1 TBSP = 15 GRAMS (.046 CHO x 17 GRAMS) .78 CHO/TBSP
- ¼ CUP = 4 TBSP (.78 CHO x 4) 3.12 CHO/1/4 CUP
TOMATO SAUCE ONLY = 205 GRAMS
- 8.52 CHO DIVIDED BY 205 GRAMS = .041 CHO/GRAM
- 1 TBSP = 15 GRAMS (.041 CHO x 15 GRAMS) .615 CHO/TBSP
- ¼ CUP = 4 TBSP (.615 CHO x 4) 2.46 CHO/1/4 CUP
Instructions
- Drain artichokes and roughly chop. Rinse and drain crab, pressing down to remove any liquid. Mix crab and cream cheese then fold in artichokes.
- Spread tomato sauce in bottom of oven proof dish and mound crab mixture in centre, leaving some tomato sauce around the edges uncovered. Sprinkle crab mixture with grated cheese.
- Pre heat oven to 350. Bake dip for 15 minutes and then broil for a couple minutes until cheese starts to get some golden color.
- Serve with taco chips (CHO will depend on product you buy).
