CREOLE CRAB BURGERS



Creole Crab Burgers image

Food lovers on America's coasts have long known that crab cakes make wonderful sandwiches. Here, tender lumps of sweet crab are seasoned (in the manner of traditional Louisiana deviled crabs) and lightly bound with egg and bread crumbs, then panfried until the cakes have a golden crust. A thin layer of tangy tartar sauce and crisp lettuce is all the accompaniment they need.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 3/4 cups fine dry bread crumbs, divided
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns, split and toasted
Accompaniments: tartar sauce; iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Stir together crabmeat, mayonnaise, scallions, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup bread crumbs in a bowl until just combined. Form into 4 (1-inch-thick) patties (3 1/2 inches in diameter; patties will be soft but will firm up when fried). Spread remaining cup bread crumbs on a plate, then dredge patties in crumbs, knocking off excess, and transfer to a platter.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then fry patties, turning over once, until golden, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Assemble burgers with buns and accompaniments.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat: High-quality crab meat will result in more flavorful burgers.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Old Bay, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard are classic choices, but feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices.
  • Don't overmix the crab mixture: Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
  • Form the burgers gently: Handle the crab mixture gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Leave some space between the burgers so that they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the burgers immediately: Crab burgers are best enjoyed hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled crab burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They're perfect for a summer cookout or a casual weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your crab burgers turn out perfectly every time. So fire up your grill and give them a try!
