Crab cakes are all about skill! The recipes are almost the same. Check it out...why do you think its such a controversy about who has the best? Too many ingredients BAD...Too greasy (wrong temp) BAD...Good luck on "magic recipe" but sorry to say WON'T WORK...if you can"t cook with restraint and a touch of sensitivity...
Just read above recipe (gross) I guess I never thought anyone would use a MIX in their crab cakes!?! NOT in the NW, we would never do that to our fresh Dungeness crab!!! Never heard of using canned crab either.
I make these and my guests and myself really like them. It is a recipe from Martha Stewart. I got it out of one of her books (don't remember which one though).
Classic Crab Cakes
12 ounces lump crabmeat, picked over for cartilage
2 slices white bread, broken into very small crumbs
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeds and ribs removed, minced
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 large egg; lightly beaten
1 large shallot, minced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Zest of 1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons canola oil
Preheat the oven to 400. Line a 12 x 17 inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Set the baking sheet aside.
Combine the crabmeat and the bread in a medium bowl. Set aside. In another medium bowl, mix together the mustard, Worcestershire, Old Bay, jalapenos, cilantro, egg, shallots, mayonnaise and lemon zest. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the crabmeat and stir to combine. Season with pepper to taste.
Using fingers, shape about 1 ? tablespoons of the crab mixture into half dollar size rounds. Continue with the remaining crab mixture.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches of 6 to 8, place the crab cakes in the skillet until golden brown on the bottom, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn the crab cakes and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel to absorb the oil. Transfer the crab cakes to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
The crab cakes can be held in a warm oven for 30 minutes or cooled and reheated at serving time. Serve warm.
Chili Lime Aioli
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg yolk
1 large egg
1 cup canola oil
Zest of 1 lime
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 orange or red habanero peppers or other hot chili peppers, seeds & ribs removed, minced
Place the garlic and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until pureed. Add the egg and egg yolk and process, scrapping down the sides of the bowl. With the machine running, very slowly add the oil a few drops at a time at first and then in a thin steady stream; it will emulsify & thicken. Once the aioli has formed, quickly pulse in the lime zest and the juice. Transfer to a bowl and stir in peppers. The aioli can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
