Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Creole mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1 large egg
Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
1 small bunch chives, thinly sliced
2/3 cup saltine cracker crumbs
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
Canola oil, for cooking
2 ears corn, husked
1 red onion, peeled and sliced into rounds
1 red bell pepper
1 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 cup arugula
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Creole mustard
10 cornichons, finely diced plus 2 tablespoons cornichon juice
1/2 shallot, finely diced
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the crab cakes: To a large bowl, add the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning, egg, lemon zest and juice and chives. Mix thoroughly to combine. Add the saltine cracker crumbs. Add the crabmeat. Gently fold the crab into the mixture, being careful not to break up the meat too much.
  • Form the mixture into four equal-sized crab cakes. Preheat a large saute pan over medium-high heat with some canola oil until it shimmers. Gently place the crab cakes into the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • For the salad: Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Place the corn and onions onto the grill pan and grill until charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip, then cook until charred and the onions are softened, another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the corn kernels from the cobs and dice the grilled onions. Set aside.
  • Place the red bell pepper onto an open flame on your stovetop. Cook, flipping occasionally, until completely black and charred, about 5 minutes. (If you don't have a gas stovetop, you can broil the pepper in the oven on high, turning occasionally, until charred.) Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam until the skin pulls away, about 10 minutes. Remove the skin from the bell pepper and rinse under water to ensure all of the black char is removed. Remove the stem, ribs and seeds from the roasted pepper and dice.
  • To a large bowl, add the corn kernels, onions, roasted peppers, cilantro, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes and kosher salt to taste. Toss to combine. In a separate bowl, add the arugula, lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and kosher salt to taste. Toss to combine.
  • For the aioli: To a bowl, add the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, cornichons, cornichon juice, shallots and kosher salt to taste. Mix to combine.
  • To serve, place the arugula onto each plate and nestle some of the corn, red onion and red pepper salad next to it. Top with a crab cake and drizzle some of the aioli around the crab cake. Enjoy!

CRAB CAKES-CREOLE STYLE



Crab Cakes-Creole Style image

In Louisiana, most dishes include plenty of fresh garlic, dry mustard, and cayenne pepper for Creole flavor. Heavy cream adds richness (because no Louisiana dish isn't rich). You need to start with a large dose of good quality lump crabmeat and keep the binder to a minimum. Saltines add more flavor than other binders and won't make the crab cakes pasty. This recipe was adapted from Cook's Country Magazine.

Time 55m

Yield 12 Crabcakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 celery rib, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 cup cracker, crushed (Saltines)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 (4 1/4 ounce) cans lump crabmeat
1/2 cup cracker, crushed (Saltines)
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate and refrigerate 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add remaining ingredients except for the crabmeat, other portion of saltines, and oil. Add the cooled vegetables then gently fold in crabmeat, being careful not to break up large pieces of crab.
  • Divide into 12 portions and shape each into 1¼-inch-thick cake and about the shape of your palms. Transfer to plate, cover, and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
  • Heat remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge crab cakes in remaining cracker crumbs and press to adhere crumbs to cakes (coat with crumbs at a time, and cook about 3 per batch in the oil). Gently and carefully place the cakes into the hot oil. Cook until well browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side (turn cakes gently using two spatulas so as they won't break apart).
  • Transfer to plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining cakes, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
