Method

Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, Old Bay seasoning, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Cakes

    Form the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on your preferred size.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cornmeal Pancakes

  1. 4

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  2. 5

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.

  3. 6

    Combine and Cook

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Heat a skillet over medium heat and pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 7

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices.

  2. 8

    Set Up Dredging Stations

    In one bowl, place flour. In another bowl, whisk together egg and milk. In a third bowl, put cornmeal.

  3. 9

    Dredge and Fry

    Dip each tomato slice into flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat in cornmeal. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the tomatoes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Corn Salsa

  1. 10

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together corn kernels, diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.

Chipotle Hollandaise

  1. 11

    Melt Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

  2. 12

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened.

  3. 13

    Combine and Whisk

    Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously. Add chipotle in adobo, lime juice, and salt, and continue whisking until the sauce thickens.

Asparagus

  1. 14

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the ends off asparagus spears and wash them.

  2. 15

    Roast the Asparagus

    In a bowl, toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until tender.
