  • ½ medium yellow onion (diced fine)
  • 1 tbsp. minced garlic (or pressed)
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. unprocessed sweetener (maple syrup works great)
  • 1 lb. crab meat (picked through for shells)
  • ⅓ cup fresh, minced basil
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 large baguette (sliced about 1 inch thick)
  • balsamic glaze

Instructions

  • In a small 2-quart crockpot, combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for two hours.
    Crab mix ingredients stirred together in a white slow cooker crock.
  • Add crab meat and basil to the crockpot. Stir gently, and try not to break the crab lumps up too much. Cover and cook on low for one more hour.
    The finished crab mixture still in the slow cooker crock it was cooked in.
  • Serve warm over the crostini and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
