Heavenly Crab Cakes Recipes

THE ULTIMATE CRAB CAKES

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.

EASY CRAB CAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven broiler.
• Combine crab meat, bread crumbs, Old Bay Seasoning, and parsley. Mix until well incorporated. But do not overmix. Crab meat should be lumpy.
• In a separate bowl, beat together mayonnaise, mustard, and egg. Combine with other ingredients and mix well.
• Form into patties and refrigerate for about half an hour. This will allow the crab cakes to firm up and prevent them from cracking or breaking up in the pan.
• Put the patties into a lightly greased baking sheet. Broil for 10 to 15 minutes (or until lightly brown).
