Crab Paoli
March 13, 2008
I found this fabulous recipe from a cookbook “Cooking at the Winery with Jim May” that I aquired while wine tasting at the Alderbrook Winery a few years ago. This recipe was given to Rob Weinstock, Vineyard Manager at Alderbrook and his family more than forty years ago by the great San Francisco restauranteur Joe Paoli. Go to www.alderbrook.com to check out this beautiful winery. During crab season this is a must for entertaining. It’s fun, It’s easy, it’s fast and everybody loves it. Please enjoy!
