CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE
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.

Steps:
- Make the crab cakes first so they have time to firm up in the refrigerator before you cook them.
- Heat a 2-count of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onion gets kind of caramelized. Dump that into a bowl and fold in the crabmeat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg white, lime juice, and cilantro, mixing just until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 6 fat crab cakes. Put them on a plate, cover, and stick them in the refrigerator to chill.
- To serve, heat a 3-count of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook for about 4 minutes each side until nice and crisp. Serve on torn butcher paper with fresh lemon wedges and Garlic Aioli with Celery Root.
- Mince garlic and make into paste using the side of your knife. Hint: to make this go faster add a bit of salt to the garlic and continue mashing with the side of your knife.
- Place the paste in a large bowl and add: the sour cream, mayonnaise, celery seed, lemon juice, and oil. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fold in the shredded celery root and chives. Give it a final taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE
This uses homeade mayonnaise, part of it is used for the cakes, and to the rest of it, dill pickles and chopped capers are added to create a lovely mayonnaise sauce. Fry the cakes in cornstarch a little, if a crust is desired. Make sure all mayonnaise ingredients are very solidly at room temperature before beginning.

Steps:
- Make the mayonnaise by putting the egg yolks, seasonings, and vinegar into a bowl. Whip until the salt dissolves. Add the oil, drop by drop, until the sauce begins to thicken, then begin adding in a slow, steady stream, stopping, to incorporate the oil fully. When all of the oil has been used, stir in the water, this will keep it smooth, an disallow it to separate, once it has been made. Measure 1/2 cup of it, and put it into a bowl where the cakes will get made. Set the remainder aside, at room temperature.
- In the bowl with the measured mayonnaise, add the egg, creole seasoning, mustard, scallions, capers, and some chopped parsley, if desired. Taste, and correct for salt and pepper. Stir in the crab. Moisten, then add the breadcrumbs, and bring together loosely.
- The cakes can be made any size desired, I usually form them from 1/4-1/3 cup fulls. They will hold together nicely. Heat a frying pan with half of the butter, and several tablespoons of vegetable oil. Fry in batches. Flip tenderly. Dust in a light coating of cornflour before cooking, if a crisp exterior is highly desired.
- Place the finished cakes on a sheet pan, fitted with a jelly rack. Place them into a moderate oven to finish baking for about 6 minutes. In the meantime, make the sauce, add chopped capers, to taste, and the pickles, season with about a teaspoon of lemon juice, more if desired, taste, and correct for salt and pepper. Serve at once.

Tips:
- Choose fresh crab meat. This will give your crab cakes the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but make sure to thaw it thoroughly before using.
- Use a light touch when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
- Don't overcook the crab cakes. They should be cooked through, but still moist and tender. If you're not sure if they're done, insert a toothpick into the center of a crab cake. If it comes out clean, the crab cake is done.
- Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Remoulade sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or even just a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or even a snack. With a little planning and effort, you can make crab cakes that are sure to impress your family and friends. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
