Recipe information

  • Total Time

    25 minutes

Ingredients

For cumin pita toasts

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (6-inch) pitas with pockets, halved horizontally

For crab mixture

1/4 lb jumbo lump crabmeat
1 1/2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Dash of Tabasco

Preparation

  1. Make toasts:

    Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

    Step 2

    Stir together oils, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste and brush on cut sides of pitas. Cut each pita half into 8 wedges and arrange, cut sides up, on a large baking sheet.

    Step 3

    Bake pitas in middle of oven until edges are crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool (toasts will continue to crisp as they cool).

  2. Make crab mixture while pitas are baking:

    Step 4

    Stir together crab ingredients and salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 5

    Top each toast with some crab.
