Dense yet flaky, firm yet delicate, Maryland crab cakes are a seaside staple. Serve them a' la carte, in a sandwich or beside a salad Ingredients:
1/2 tsp. garlic minced |
1 tbsp. onion minced |
1 tbsp. celery diced |
2 tbsp. mayonnaise |
1 whole egg |
1/8 tsp. salt |
1/8 tsp. black pepper |
1 tsp. dijon mustard |
1 tsp. old bay seasoning |
1/4 cup bread crumbs |
1 pound lump crab meat |
2 tbsp. oil for sauteing |
Directions:
1. In a large stainless-steel bowl, combine all ingredients except
2. crab meat and bread crumbs.
3. Using gloved hands, gently mix in crab meat, then add bread crumbs.
4. Spread a thin layer of plain bread crumbs on your work surface.
5. Form crab mixture into equal balls, approximately two inches in
6. diameter. Place on crumbs.
7. Gently flatten the ball of crab mixture and round the edges. Form
8. cakes about one-half inch thick and three inches round.
9. Refrigerate.
10. In a saute pan, melt 2 tbsp. of oil until hot. Gently slide in crab
11. cakes 2 at a time.
12. Brown on one side approximately two-to-three minutes. Turn and
13. brown on the other side. Turn down heat to simmer and cook crab
14. cakes another 5-8 minutes.
15. Chef's Tip:
16. While you may be tempted to increase the amount of bread crumbs
17. used, you'll receive the best sauté results with the thin layer as
18. described above.
