   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      pound         lump crabmeat
      1/2  cup           non-fat cottage cheese
      1/4  cup           non-fat cream cheese
    1      tablespoon    horseradish
    1      tablespoon    Dijon mustard
    1      tablespoon    non-fat milk
    2      teaspoons     fresh lemon juice
    2      tablespoons   apple brandy or white wine (optional)
    2      tablespoons   onion -- finely chopped
    1      pinch         cayenne or paprika
    2      tablespoons   celery -- finely chopped
    2      tablespoons   parsley -- chopped
 
 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  If the crab meat is frozen, drain it well in  a
sieve, pushing the solids with paper towel to remove all the moisture.	Fresh
or frozen, pick over it to remove any bits of cartilage and set  aside.  . In a
food processor, puree cottage cheese, cream cheese, horseradish,  mustard,
milk, lemon juice and Calvities 3 to 4 minutes.  In a small bowl,  combine the
cottage cheese mixture (which should be very smooth), the crab	meat, onion and
celery and stir until well blended. Spoon the mixture into  an oven-proof dish
and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbly and lightly  golden on top.  .
Sprinkle with cayenne or paprika and parsley, for garnish.  Serve hot with 
crisp bread. . Variation:  When thinned with 1/4 cup nonfat milk, this dip
becomes enough	sauce for 4 servings of pasta.
