BALTIMORE-STYLE CRAB CAKES



Baltimore-Style Crab Cakes image

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 saltine crackers
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Finely crush the saltine crackers in your hands and place in a large bowl. Add the crabmeat, reserving any crab juice in a separate small bowl.
  • To the bowl with the crab juice, add the mayonnaise egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce; whisk until smooth. Season with black pepper.
  • Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the crab and saltines. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Scoop the crab mixture into six patties, about 1 1/2-inches thick. Be careful not to handle the mixture too much.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook until deeply golden and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the crab cakes to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • For the freshest crab cakes, use fresh crab meat. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be gentle when mixing the crab cakes. Over-mixing will make them tough.
  • Form the crab cakes into 1-inch patties. If they are too thick, they will not cook evenly.
  • Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the crab cakes will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the crab cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Balsamic crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your friends and family.
