MARYLAND STYLE CRABCAKES



Maryland Style Crabcakes image

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 crabcakes, 4 to 6 appet

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat
1 sweet red pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 sweet yellow pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh garlic
1 to 2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 cup fresh white bread crumbs
3 tablespoons Maryland style "Old Bay" brand seasoning powder
1 teaspoon each of salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil or vegetable oil for sauteing

Steps:

  • Even though crab meat is packaged fresh and clean of shell there are always some shell fragments remaining. Open the crab meat, dump into a clean dish, and with scrupulously clean hands, pick through and clean the crabmeat of all shell fragments. Be careful of the delicate nature of such a high quality product and try not to crumble the large lumps of crab. Mix the crabmeat with the sweet peppers, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro leaves, and mayonnaise. Add the seasoning powder, 4 tablespoons of the bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well then refrigerate the mixture for twenty minutes. A cold mix is easier to work with and form into cakes.
  • Cover a work surface with waxed paper and sprinkle with half of the remaining bread crumbs. Scoop up and divide the crabmeat into 6 equalsize portions and place each mound on the work space. With the a portion of crab in the palm of one hand pat the crab with the fingers of your other hand into a diskshaped cake approximately 3/4-inch thick. It is important for the crab cakes to be the same thickness so that they will cook uniformly. Pat each cake with the bread crumbs, turning them so they coat evenly on all sides. Refrigerate for at least an hour so that the firm enough to cook and in this way prevent them from crumbling.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Not more than half an hour before you plan to serve the crab cakes add enough oil to cover the bottom of a saute pan. Heat until just before it begins to smoke. Add the crab cakes gently, being careful not to crowd the pan. (Cook them in two batches if necessary.) Turn the cakes and brown the second side. When the crab cakes are well browned to a rich golden on both sides, place on a heat proof platter and into a 375 degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes to ensure that they are fully cooked and hot at the center. Serve with chili mayonnaise and a mango salad.

THE BEST CRAB CAKES



The Best Crab Cakes image

When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1 1/2 cups panko
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped chives
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice and zest of 1 lemon, plus more lemon wedges for serving
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped dill pickles (about 2 whole pickles)
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon minced chives
Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
  • Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

PAT CONROY'S CRAB CAKES



Pat Conroy's Crab Cakes image

A lot of crab meat, a little egg white, a little flour, a little seasoning.....how crab cakes were meant to be!

Provided by KathyP53

Categories     Crab

Time 28m

Yield 8 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lump crabmeat, picked over and cleaned, with all shell fragments removed
1 egg white, lightly beaten (until just foamy, not stiff)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely snipped fresh chives
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons coarse salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons peanut oil
lemon wedge

Steps:

  • Place cleaned crabmeat in a medium mixing bowl. Pour the egg white over crabmeat slowly, stopping occasionally to mix it through. When the crabmeat has absorbed the egg white and feels slightly sticky to the touch, sift the flour over the mixture and sprinkle with chives, black pepper, cayenne, and 1 teaspoons salt evenly over the top. Lift the crabmeat from the bottom of the bowl, turning it over gently, to mix ingredients without overhandling.
  • Separate the mixture into 8 equal portions and gently roll each between the flattened palms of your hands to form loose balls. Flatten slightly and transfer to a plate. Sprinkle both sides liberally with the remaining 1 teaspoons of salt and refrigerate for at least one hour before cooking.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fry the crab cakes in two batches to ensure a crisp crust. Using a small (8") heavy skillet, melt half the butter and oil together until the mixture is foamy and begins to brown. Carefully place crab cakes in the hot fat and fry until a crust forms, turning only once, about 2 minutes per side. The fat should be sizzling hot, enabling a crisp crust to form before the crab absorbs the cooking fat. This is the Southern secret to perfect crab cakes. A small pastry spatula (with a thin tongue) will make lifting and turning the delicate crab cakes a lot easier. Remove the crab cakes and drain in the prepared pan. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while you make the second batch.
  • Carefully pour off the cooking fat from the first batch, wipe out the pan, and return it to the heat. Prepare the second batch of crab cakes using the remaining butter and oil.
  • Serve hot with lemon wedges.
