Tarragon Crab Sandwiches Recipes

KING CRAB LOUIE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Whisk together mayonnaise, green bell pepper, lemon juice, ketchup, scallions, parsley and the horseradish for the dressing in a large bowl.
• Fold in crabmeat, red bell pepper, and celery. Season with salt and pepper (I would use lemon-pepper).
• To assemble: layer lettuce on bottom half of each roll, then top with avocado slices, crabmeat salad, 2 bacon strips and the top half of the sandwich roll.

CRAB CAKES WITH TARRAGON SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare Tarragon Sauce first.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
• If too thick, add skim milk or yogurt to thin.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate, covered, to allow flavor to develop while crab cakes are being prepared.
• Crab Cakes: Combine crab, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, green onion, mustard, egg white, Tabasco, salt, and black pepper.
• Form into 8 equal patties.
• Place remaining breadcrumbs on waxed paper.
• Dredge patties in crumbs, transfer to a plate, and refrigerate, covered, for at least 1 hour.
• Heat half of olive oil in a 10" nonstick skillet.
• Add half of crab cakes; cook on one until crisp and golden, about 4-5 minutes.
• Turn over, and cook an additional 3-4 minutes.
• Repeat with other half of cakes.
• Sprinkle with chopped chives.
• Serve with sauce and lemon wedges.
