Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces crabmeat
1/4 cup minced roasted red peppers from jar
Basil Aioli
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs (from about 8 ounces of French bread)
2 large egg yolks
All purpose flour
2 egg whites, beaten just until foamy
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Combine crabmeat, red peppers, 3 tablespoons Basil Aioli and lemon peel in large bowl. Mix in 1 1/3 cups breadcrumbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in yolks (mixture will be soft).
  • Form crab mixture into eight 3/4-inch-thick cakes, using generous 1/4 cupful for each. Coat cakes on both sides with flour; shake off excess. Brush both sides with beaten whites, then coat with remaining breadcrumbs. Cover; chill at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
  • Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook cakes until golden brown and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Place 2 cakes on each plate. Serve with remaining Basil Aioli.

These crab cakes were amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The crab cakes were so moist and flavorful, and the basil aioli was the perfect dipping sauce. I will definitely be making these again.
