Crab Ceviche with Blueberries and Popcorn

Crab may be my favorite food of all time—except maybe for scallops or octopus#151;and I like it any way I can get it, including in this totally kicky ceviche dish. I know this combination of foods sounds totally off the wall, but I love to play with food, and this play knocks it out of the park. Trust me! (And if you don't want to trust me, trust the diners at The Surf Lodge, where this dish is a top seller and the one people always ask for.)

Ingredients

Serves 6-8

1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons agave nectar
3/4 cup yuzu juice
Grated zest and juice of 4 lemons
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat
1 pint blueberries
1 cup plain popcorn
  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, agave nectar, yuzu juice, lemon zest and juice, and the oil. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold in the crab and blueberries.

    Step 2

    To serve, spoon the ceviche into bowls and garnish with a handful of popcorn per serving.

  • I tried this recipe out of pure curiousity, because I love crab, I love blueberries and I love popcorn, and I wondered how it would all come together, given the description of how incredible it was despite how odd it sounded... My curiousity was satisfied, but not in a good way... We tasted it just before the meal, and then dumped it out. NYE dinner was short one dish. Sorry...
