BROWN RICE CRAB CAKES



Brown Rice Crab Cakes image

Leftover brown rice helps stretch a pound of crab into eight good-size crab cakes. I get the best results with cooked rice that has first been spread on a plate and chilled in the refrigerator, which dries it out a bit. Depending on your preference, serve with Perfect Herb Mayonnaise or Ultimate Cocktail Sauce on the side.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup cooled cooked brown rice
1/2 cup chopped scallions (white and green parts)
1 large egg, beaten
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons juice)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups fine dry breadcrumbs, plus more as needed
Canola oil, for frying
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving
Perfect Herb Mayonnaise, for serving, recipe follows
Ultimate Cocktail Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon gelatin
1 large organic egg plus 1 large organic egg yolk
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup chopped mixed soft herbs, such as any combination of Italian parsley, basil, chives, tarragon, and chervil
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup hot chile sauce, such as Sriracha
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, drained
1 tablespoon grated fresh horseradish, or to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons finely minced red onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the crab, mayonnaise, rice, scallions, egg, lemon zest and juice, and tarragon. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs and stir them in. You should be able to make a crab cake that just holds together but is still a bit wet. If the mixture is too wet to hold together (and it might be, depending on how wet the crab and cooked rice are), stir in up to 1/4 cup more breadcrumbs.
  • Form the mixture into eight 1-inch-thick cakes and put on a plate or platter. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm them up.
  • When ready to cook the crab cakes, heat 1/2 inch oil in a large nonstick skillet and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Spread about 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate and lightly dredge the crab cakes in breadcrumbs. Fry the crab cakes in 2 batches until golden on both sides and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain the first batch on paper towels and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the second batch. Season the crab cakes with salt and serve with lemon wedges.
  • In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cool water and let sit until absorbed, about 5 minutes. Put the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir to melt the gelatin.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the gelatin mixture, the egg and egg yolk, mustard, sugar, garlic, and herbs and process until smooth. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow steady stream (just drips at first, adding more rapidly once the mayonnaise begins to thicken) to make a very thick mayonnaise. Stop and add the lemon juice and vinegar once the mixture begins to thicken and then add the remaining oil, stopping just before it has thickened to your liking. It will thicken a bit more once it is chilled.
  • Scrape into a small bowl, season with salt and pepper, and cover the surface with plastic wrap. Chill until ready to use. The mayonnaise will keep 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator, though the garlic flavor will intensify over time.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, chile sauce, the prepared horseradish, the fresh horseradish, lemon juice, onion, and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Refrigerate until will chilled. The cocktail sauce will keep up to 3 days, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. It may separate, so give it a quick stir again before serving.

CRAB CAKES



Crab Cakes image

Mace, nutmeg's peppery sister, is what makes the difference in these crab cakes. The recipe, adapted from "Gullah Geechee Home Cooking: Recipes From the Matriarch of Edisto Island," comes from Emily Meggett, one of the most well-respected cooks in the Gullah Geechee community, whose food traditions are built largely on the crabs, shrimp and fish they pull from the water near their homes along the southeastern shoreline. She has made thousands of these using freshly cooked blue crabs, but meat that has already been picked and processed works as well. Be sparing with the bread crumbs, which should just hold the mixture together, then add more if the cakes are falling apart. Make sure the pan is very hot, then reduce the heat the minute they hit the oil. Keep a close eye while they brown. These are lovely bites to start a meal, or can star as supper, alongside rice and fresh vegetables. Ms. Meggett serves them with what she calls pink sauce, which is similar to this sauce, with the addition of grated onion and lemon.

Time 1h30m

Yield About 12 large crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 slices soft white or whole-wheat bread
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter
1 large onion, grated
1/4 cup/30 grams self-rising flour (see Tip)
1 1/2 cups/355 milliliters whole or 2-percent milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
2 pounds/907 grams lump crab meat, drained if needed
1/2 cup/120 milliliters vegetable oil, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler to 500 degrees (or its highest setting). On your oven's highest rack, broil all the bread slices on a baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden and crisp but not burned. Flip all the slices over and broil for another 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the broiler off and allow the bread to crisp in the oven until totally dry, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let cool. Using a box grater or rolling pin, coarsely grate and crush the bread slices into bread crumbs (or, pulse them in a food processor). The crumbs should look and feel like sand; you should get about 4 cups. Set the bread crumbs aside.
  • In a large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over high heat. Once the butter is melted, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the butter and onion into a large bowl. Whisk the flour into the melted butter and onion, then slowly whisk in the milk to make a creamy sauce. Once the sauce is smooth, whisk in the eggs, lemon juice, vinegar and mace.
  • Add the crab meat to the cream sauce and mix lightly with a fork; don't break up the pieces of crab meat. Gently fold in just enough of the bread crumbs so that the mixture holds together (about 2 1/2 cups). Divide the crab mixture into 12 equal portions, setting them on a baking sheet as you go. They should be thick rounds - about the size of the palm of your hand, and roughly 1 1/2 inches thick.
  • Using your hand, take a scoop of the toasted bread crumbs and coat each crab cake.
  • Wipe out the skillet and heat the oil over high. Once the oil is hot, place a few of the crab cakes in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Place the cooked crab cakes on a paper towel to drain. Working in batches, cook the remaining crab cakes, adding more oil as needed.
  • Serve crab cakes immediately, or set aside in a warm oven (see Tip) while you cook the remaining crab cakes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat will give your rice cakes a more delicate flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and color to your rice cakes. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the rice. The rice should be cooked through, but still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and your rice cakes will fall apart.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the batter tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fry the rice cakes in hot oil. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the rice cakes hot. They are best served immediately after they are cooked, while they are still crispy.

Conclusion:

Crab rice cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a main course. With a variety of dipping sauces to choose from, there is sure to be a crab rice cake for everyone. So next time you are looking for a tasty and unique dish to serve, give crab rice cakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
