Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 large crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons for sautéeing
1 cup finely chopped scallions (including some green stem)
1/2 cup finely chopped jalapeño pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons dry mustard
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 pounds jumbo lump crabmeat, drained well, patted dry, picked over for shells
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups fresh white-bread crumbs, spread out in a baking dish
1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Melt 1 1/2 sticks butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté scallions and jalapeño about 2 minutes, until bright green. Add the heavy cream and heat to boiling. Stir over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard and pepper. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Place the crabmeat in a large bowl. Gently stir in the scallion mixture. Form uniform cakes by placing spoonfuls of the crab mixture on a cookie sheet. Immediately place in refrigerator to harden, about 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve, beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and place the bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working with half of the crab cakes at a time (keep remaining cakes in the refrigerator), dip each cake into the beaten eggs and coat with crumbs. Sauté until browned, 2 to 3 minutes on each side (turning cakes only once or they will break up). Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

THE BEST CRAB CAKES



The Best Crab Cakes image

When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1 1/2 cups panko
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped chives
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice and zest of 1 lemon, plus more lemon wedges for serving
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped dill pickles (about 2 whole pickles)
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon minced chives
Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
  • Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

CRAB CAKES - JASON'S BEST EVER



CRAB CAKES - JASON'S BEST EVER image

Yield 10 large cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, plus 2 T. for sauteeng
1 cup scallions, finely chopped, white and some green
1/2 cup jalapeno chile peppers, finely chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons dry mustard
pinch cayenne pepper
2 pounds lump crabmeat, well drained, and picked over, patted dry
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups white bread crumbs, spread out in a flat plate
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Melt 1 1/2 sticks of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute scallions and jalapenos for about two minutes, until bright green. Add heavy cream and bring to a boil, stirring for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, add mustard and pepper. Cool five minutes. Place crabmeat in a large bowl. Gently stir in scallion mixture. Form uniform cakes and place on waxed paper lined sheets. Refrigerate until firm, two hours. When ready to serve, place eggs in shallow bowl. Melt additional butter and oil in skillet over medium heat. Dip each cake into the beaten egg and then the crumbs. Saute until browned, 2-3 minutes on each side. Turn cakes only once - they will break easily. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. I sometimes grill these with no egg or crumbs. Also, these can be sauteed earlier in the day and re-heated in a very hot oven.

CRAB CAKES

These are the best crab cakes I've ever eaten. I got the recipe from Cuisine magazine. Every time I make them I hear alot of oohs and ahhs and requests for the recipe.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but make sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the cakes tough.
  • Use a light hand when forming the crab cakes. If you pack the crab cakes too tightly, they will be dense and heavy.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. Cooking the crab cakes over high heat will make them burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
  • Serve the crab cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. By following the tips above, you can make the best crab cakes ever. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give crab cakes a try.
