How to Make Crab Meat Alma

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped celery and 1/4 cup chopped onion. Saute until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or similar) until melted and smooth.
  6. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine.
  7. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups lump crab meat.
  8. Heat gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Do not boil.
  9. Serve immediately over toasted French bread slices or in mini phyllo cups. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
