CRABBY CRAB CAKES image

Categories     Shellfish

Yield 4 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fresh lump crab meat
1 egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons flour, more for dredging
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or neutral oil, like canola or grape-seed
4 tablespoons butter (or use a total of 4 tablespoons oil)
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • 1. Gently combine crab, egg, mustard, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons flour. Cover mixture, and put in freezer for 5 minutes. Shape mixture into 4 hamburger-shaped patties. Line plate with plastic wrap, and put crab cakes on it. Cover crab cakes with more plastic wrap, and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes (or as long as 1 day), or freeze for 15 minutes. 2. Put flour for dredging in a bowl. Combine oil and butter in 12-inch skillet, and turn heat to medium. When butter melts and its foam subsides, gently dredge a crab cake in the flour. Gently tap off excess flour, and add crab cake to pan; repeat with remaining crab cakes, and then turn heat to medium-high. 3. Cook, rotating cakes in pan as necessary to brown the first side, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn, and brown the other side (it will take slightly less time). Serve cakes hot, with lemon wedges. Well-prepared crab cakes need no more than a squeeze of lemon, but if you like tartar sauce or aioli, you can make them easily enough. For tartar sauce, mix 1 cup of mayonnaise (preferably homemade) with 1/4 cup of minced cornichons or other pickles, 2 tablespoons of minced shallots, and horseradish to taste. For aioli, add finely minced raw garlic to 1 cup of mayonnaise (some saffron, too, if you have it). Let it rest for an hour or so before using.

This recipe is now my new favorite crab cake recipe. It's easy to make and the crab cakes always turn out perfectly. They're crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The flavor is amazing.

I'm not usually a fan of crab cakes, but these were amazing! The crab meat was fresh and flavorful, and the bread crumbs and spices were perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.

These crab cakes are not only delicious, but they're also healthy. They're made with whole wheat bread crumbs and are baked instead of fried. They're a great option for a healthy meal.

I'm always looking for healthy recipes, and these crab cakes fit the bill. They're made with whole wheat bread crumbs and are baked instead of fried. They're still delicious, but they're a little healthier than traditional crab cakes.

I love spicy food, so I added a little extra Old Bay seasoning to my crab cakes. They turned out perfectly! The crab meat was still the star of the show, but the extra spice gave them a nice kick.
