Yield Makes 4 appetizer or 2 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 8-ounce bottles clam juice
2 cups whipping cream
1 1/4 cups chopped seeded tomatoes
1/3 cup diced carrot
2 tablespoons brandy
1 teaspoon chopped seeded jalapeño chili
3/4 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 pound fresh crabmeat
2 3/4 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from French bread
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Bring clam juice, cream, tomatoes, carrot, brandy, jalapeño chili, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika to boil in heavy large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until sauce is reduced to 2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Puree sauce in blender until smooth. Return to saucepan; add pinch of cayenne pepper. Season sauce to taste with salt. (Sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Combine crabmeat, 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne in large bowl, mixing until well blended. Form eight 1/2-inch-thick crab cakes, using scant 1/2 cup mixture for each. Coat crab cakes with remaining 1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Arrange in single layer on baking sheet. Cover and chill.)
  • Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 crab cakes to skillet and fry until golden and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining crab cakes.
  • Meanwhile, bring sauce to simmer. Divide sauce among plates; top with crab cakes. Garnish each with lemon wedges.

I didn't have any panko breadcrumbs on hand, so I used regular breadcrumbs instead. They worked just fine.

I used fresh crab meat for this recipe and it made all the difference. The crab cakes were so much more flavorful.

I was a bit skeptical about the tomato cream sauce, but it was actually really good. It added a nice tanginess to the crab cakes.
