Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a bowl, combine lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onion, bread crumbs, and the beaten egg. Mix gently to keep the crab meat intact. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cake

    Shape the mixture into a single crab cake, about 1 inch thick. Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help it firm up.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cake

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the crab cake and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a pot, cover the cubed potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic and Mash

    Add minced garlic, butter, and milk to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper.

Sauteed Spinach Preparation

  1. 6

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Tartar Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, finely chopped pickles, capers, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
