Provided by Food Network

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 GRAINY MUSTARD AND SCALLION SAUCES



Crab Cakes with Grainy Mustard and Scallion Sauces image

Because they are made with egg yolks instead of breadcrumbs and are baked rather than fried, these cakes have an especially distinct crab taste. Chef Edward Brown, of Sea Grill in New York City, enhances that flavor wonderfully by serving the cakes alongside two spicy sauces.

Yield Serves 8 as a first-course

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups Chardonnay or other dry white wine
1/3 cup chopped shallots
1 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 pounds crabmeat, drained (about 4 cups)
2 1/2 cups finely crushed potato chips
1 1/4 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from French bread
1 7.25-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup (about) vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Boil wine and shallots in heavy medium saucepan until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Add cream and boil until liquid is reduced to sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Mix crabmeat, 1/2 cup crushed potato chips, breadcrumbs and next 7 ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Using 1/4 cupful crab mixture for each cake, form mixture into sixteen 2 1/2-inch-diameter cakes. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover sauce and crab cakes separately and refrigerate. Rewarm sauce over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, before serving.) Place remaining potato chips in shallow dish. Press each cake into chips, turning to coat evenly.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add crab cakes to skillet and cook until golden brown and heated through, adding more oil as necessary, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer crab cakes to paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Place 2 crab cakes on each plate; spoon sauce around crab cakes and then serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of mustard. There are many different types of mustard available, each with its own unique flavor. Try a few different kinds to find one that you like.
  • Add some fresh herbs or spices to your sauce. This will give it a more complex flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce. Overcooked sauce will be thick and gloopy. You want your sauce to be creamy and smooth.
  • Serve the sauce warm. This will help to bring out the flavors of the mustard and other ingredients.

Conclusion:

Creamy mustard sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It is perfect for crab cakes, but it can also be used with grilled fish, chicken, or vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a creamy mustard sauce that will elevate your next meal.
