Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced celery, chopped scallions, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add Spinach and Tomatoes

    Add the fresh spinach and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are soft, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Create the Fondue

    Pour in the dry sherry and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Then add heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Crab Meat

    Gently fold in the crab meat, making sure not to break it apart too much. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot, either in a bowl or as a filling for a pastry or on toasted bread.
