Panko gives these crab cakes an irresistibly crisp coating. Chilling the crab cake mixture helps them hold their shape as they cook. Ingredients:
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
3/4 teaspoon old bay seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
2 egg whites, lightly beaten |
1 pound lump crabmeat, drained and shell pieces removed |
1 1/2 cups panko (japanese breadcrumbs), divided |
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided |
cooking spray |
21 baby carrots (about 12 ounces) |
5 small red potatoes, quartered (about 8 ounces) |
4 medium shallots, halved lengthwise |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
8 ounces haricots verts, trimmed |
2/3 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
3 tablespoons chopped shallots |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
2 1/2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. To prepare crab cakes, combine first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Gently fold in crabmeat. Gently stir in 3/4 cup panko. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
2. Divide crab mixture into 8 equal portions (about 1/2 cup each); shape each into a 3/4-inch-thick patty. Place remaining 3/4 cup panko in a shallow dish. Working with 1 patty at a time, dredge in panko. Repeat procedure with the remaining patties and panko.
3. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat both sides of crab cakes with cooking spray. Add 4 crab cakes to pan; cook 7 minutes. Carefully turn cakes over; cook 7 minutes or until golden. Repeat procedure with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, cooking spray, and remaining 4 crab cakes.
4. Preheat oven to 450°.
5. To prepare vegetables, leave root and 1-inch stem on carrots; scrub with a brush. Combine carrots, potatoes, and shallots in a small roasting pan. Coat vegetables with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Toss. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes, turning once. Coat haricots verts with cooking spray. Add haricots verts to vegetable mixture; toss. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
6. To prepare sauce, combine broth, shallots, and vinegar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 4 minutes); remove from heat. Stir in butter. Serve with crab cakes and vegetables.
