Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg yolk
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for frying
1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the crab cakes: Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse crumbs; spread out the crumbs on a sheet pan. In a large bowl, mix the crab, mayonnaise, egg yolk, celery and pickles. Form into 8 oval-shaped cakes. Dredge each crab cake in the breadcrumbs, coating them all over; place on a plate and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Make the sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Stir in the flour, curry powder and paprika; cook until the flour and spices lose their raw smell, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and mustard seeds; simmer to develop the flavors, about 5 more minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Fry the crab cakes: Melt the 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add the crab cakes; cook until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook until evenly browned on all sides. Serve with the mustard sauce.

CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE



Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce image

The best crab cakes are freshly made and cooked in your skillet just until crunchy on the outside. The remoulade sauce is inspired by New Orleans cooking, and you can adjust the spice levels with more or less horseradish and Louisiana-style hot sauce. Crisp French fries make a great side, but you can go lighter with marinated green bean salad.
