Yield Makes 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

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.
