Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Sandwich

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the Seasoning:
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 1/2 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon dried onion powder
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
For the Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce (e.g., Frank's, Texas Pete, Tabasco )
1 teaspoon dill relish
3/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
For the Burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
1/3 cup finely minced onion
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
Sandwich buns, burger toppings, optional

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, kosher salt, thyme, and the black and cayenne peppers. Stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid.
  • In another small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the finely chopped green onion, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and dill relish. Add 3/4 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning (or to taste). Cover and refrigerate the remoulade until serving time.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced onion, pressed garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning mixture. Mix to blend thoroughly.
  • With your hands of a burger press, shape the meat mixture into four burgers. Each burger will weigh approximately 6 ounces. With your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each burger. Refrigerate the burgers until it is time to cook. Store the remaining Cajun seasoning in a cool, dark place.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high heat. When the grill is hot, brush the grate with olive oil or canola oil. Place the burgers on the grill, indentation side up and grill for about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers and continue grilling for about 4 to 5 minutes longer, or until the burgers register 160 F, the minimum safe temperature recommended by the USDA.
  • Transfer the burgers to a plate or rack and tent with foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes.
  • Assemble the burgers on buns with your choice of toppings, along with a generous amount of remoulade sauce.

1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
4 kaiser rolls
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
4 pieces butter lettuce
1 large heirloom tomato, sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley leaves
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 medium celery root, peeled and quartered (about 2 pounds)
Rajun' Cajun Onion Rings, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (recommended: Crystal)
2 large red onions, sliced into rings
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon white pepper
Salt
2 cups self-rising flour
Vegetables oil, for frying

Steps:

  • To make the crab burgers:
  • In a large bowl, whisk mayonnaise, egg, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, hot sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste. Fold in the crabmeat and 1 cup of the bread crumbs until just combined. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties. Put the patties on the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Meanwhile make the slaw: In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, Dijon, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne, parsley and salt and pepper, taste. Using the grater attachment on the food processor or a box grater, grate the celery root. Work quickly so that the root doesn't turn brown. Transfer to a medium bowl, add pour the dressing over the celery root. Toss to combine and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • Remove the crab patties from the refrigerator. Place the remaining bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Dredge the patties in the bread crumbs and pat along the edges.
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking. Place the patties into the oil and cook about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain. Season the patties with salt while they are still warm. Place on baking sheet to hold in a preheated 250 degree oven while you toast the buns.
  • Slice the kaiser rolls in half, butter, put on a sheet pan and toast under the broiler.
  • To assemble the burgers, place a patty on the bottom half of each bun and top with the Celery Root Slaw, a piece of lettuce and a tomato slice. Cover with the other half of the bun and serve with Rajun' Cajun Onion Rings.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, the milk and the hot sauce. Add the onion rings and set aside while you season the flour. In a large baking dish or pie plate, combine the celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, paprika, chili powder, white pepper, salt and the flour.
  • Heat about 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven.
  • Remove the onion rings from the liquid mixture and dredge in the flour mixture. Repeat the process to double coat the rings. Place the onion rings into the oil in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain the onion rings on a paper towel lined plate and season with salt while still hot, then transfer to a serving platter.

CREOLE CRAB BURGERS



Creole Crab Burgers image

Food lovers on America's coasts have long known that crab cakes make wonderful sandwiches. Here, tender lumps of sweet crab are seasoned (in the manner of traditional Louisiana deviled crabs) and lightly bound with egg and bread crumbs, then panfried until the cakes have a golden crust. A thin layer of tangy tartar sauce and crisp lettuce is all the accompaniment they need.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients: Always use fresh crab meat for the best flavor and avoid using any canned or pre-packaged crab meat. Make sure your other ingredients, such as bread crumbs, eggs, and spices, are also fresh and of good quality.
  • Use a food processor or blender to chop the crab meat: This will help to create a smooth and even texture for your crab cakes. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also finely chop the crab meat by hand.
  • Don't overmix the crab cake mixture: Overmixing can make the crab cakes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Shape the crab cakes gently: Use your hands to gently shape the crab cake mixture into patties. Avoid pressing the crab cakes too firmly, as this can make them dense and dry.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat: This will help to prevent the crab cakes from burning and will allow them to cook through evenly.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces for crab cakes include tartar sauce, remoulade sauce, and cocktail sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or sandwich. By following these tips, you can make perfect crab cakes every time. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that's sure to impress, give these Cajun Crab Burgers a try.
