4 ounces heavy cream

Steps:

  • Crab Cakes:

Add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice. Mix well and add the cheese. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper. Add the romaine lettuce and toss lightly. Break the coddled egg into the bowl and toss thoroughly to mix the ingredients well. Add the croutons and toss again. Chill until ready to serve.
  • To make the crab cakes, finely chop the spring onion and chives. Mix with the hand, add picked crab meat, season, and add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Scale out 4-ounce portions of the crab mixture and mould into a patty form and coat in fresh white bread crumbs. Refrigerate crab cakes for at least 2 hours to set.

  • In a saucepan, saute the shallots in the butter until aroma is apparent. Add the fish stock and allow to reduce by half. Add the heavy cream and allow to reduce until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 to 15 minutes.

1 lemon

Combine well; refrigerate at least one hour. Grill lemon slices in a grill pan or broil a few minutes until they just begin to char.

  • If you have fresh asparagus, be sure to trim the woody ends before cooking.
  • To make sure the asparagus is cooked evenly, cut the stalks into uniform pieces.

  • Grated Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to the salad. You can use freshly grated or store-bought Parmesan cheese.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use homemade mayonnaise. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use store-bought mayonnaise.
