Categories Sandwich Shellfish Quick & Easy Summer Gourmet

Yield Makes 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

For mustard mayonnaise:
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons finely chopped sweet pickle
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped fine
1 tablespoon Creole or Dijon mustard
For crab burgers:
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup minced green bell pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 pound lump crab meat, picked over
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion greens
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lightly beaten egg
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
cayenne to taste
vegetable oil for frying
two 5-inch lengths soft-crumb French bread, split and toasted lightly
2 iceberg lettuce leaves, sliced thin

Steps:

Make mustard mayonnaise:
In a bowl whisk together mayonnaise ingredients and reserve.
Make crab burgers:
In a small heavy skillet cook onion and bell pepper in butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened. In a bowl stir together onion mixture, crab meat, scallion greens, mayonnaise, egg, 1 tablespoon bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, and salt to taste.
Put remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs in a small bowl and put a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Form one fourth crab mixture into a 3-inch patty (it will be soft) and coat with bread crumbs, transferring to plastic wrap. Make 3 more patties in same manner with remaining crab mixture and bread crumbs.
In a 10-inch heavy deep skillet heat 1/4 inch oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and fry patties until golden and cooked through, about 2 1/2 minutes on each side, transferring to paper towels to drain.
Spread bread with reserved mustard mayonnaise and sandwich crab burgers and lettuce between bread.

Tips:

Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
Don't overmix the crab cake mixture. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
Form the crab cakes into 1-inch thick patties. This will help them cook evenly.
Pan-fry the crab cakes in a little bit of oil over medium heat. This will give them a nice golden brown crust.
Serve the crab cakes on a toasted po' boy bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce.
