Vegetable side dish..?!
Answers: What would be a good vegetable so serve with crab cakes?
There's this phenomenon that seems to show that a farther a delicacy gets from it's home town, the more fancy people think it's supposed to be. I always see this question about crab cakes and see all kinds of fancy answers. Truth be told, if you're like us here in Maryland-- crab and crab cake capitol, you'd hardly think of anything but a side of fries, cole slaw and a slice of Eastern Shore tomato with them. Oh-- and a cold beer!
can never go wrong with broccoli and cheese
you can wilp up some stir fry, and you knoy that would be good with a little bit of chicken in it.
This may sound strange, but my mom always made it, and it's REALLY good! In fact, I usually make it with crab cakes, since I already have celery on hand...
STEAMED CELERY
Cut 4-5 stalks of celery into 1-2" pieces. Either steam them (I put in microwave with about 1/4" water, cover with wax paper and cook about 3-4 min).... Just put alot of real butter and some salt on top. You can sprinkle with some bread crumbs, too, if you want.....
