Recipe instructions
- Combine all dressing ingredients in food processor or blender; blend until smooth and the consistency of a mayonnaise based dip.
- Cover and set aside in the refrigerator.
- Pour the pecan halves on a tray and toast, 7 or 8 minutes; remove from oven and sprinkle with kosher salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
- Set aside to cool, when cool, coarse chop 1/4 cup, leave the rest whole.
- Break tough ends off asparagus; steam for 3 minutes, just until tender crisp, there should be lots of crunch left.
- Plunge into ice water; slice all but 12 spears into 1/4 inch pieces.
- Scrape the carrots and grate, seed and dice the tomatoes.
- Rinse the crabmeat and thourghly dry on paper towel, squeezing out the moisture.
- (If using imitation, chop into small pieces. Combine crabmeat, chopped asparagus, grated carrots, diced tomatoes, chopped pecans, dried dill weed, salt and cayenne pepper; mix well.
- Add 1/2 of the dressing to the crabmeat mixture.
- Use only enough dressing to hold the mixture together.
- The mixture should be fairly dry, not runny.
- Reserve the rest of the dressing to use as a dip for the lettuce rolls.
- Wash and separate lettuce leaves, dry as much as possible, best dried in a spinner.
- Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of crabmeat mixture in lettuce cup and roll as tightly as possible appetizer size, use toothpicks if necessary, or leave open if you wish.
- Repeat until all filling mixture is used.
- Place on serving platter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if using.
- (I like to grate the Parmesan with my zester grater because it makes nice fine fluffy strings. Place a pecan half on top of each roll.
- Garnish the platter with more pecan halves and the 12 reserved asparagus spears.
- Serve chilled at least one hour.
- The lettuce rolls can be made larger for luncheon use etc.
- ,or they can be served with crabmeat mixture in a bowl and the lettuce cups separate for each diner to fill themselves, serve extra asparagus and pecan halves on the side.
