Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crabmeat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crabmeat too much.

  2. 2

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Form the crab mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sauces

    While the crab cakes are cooking, prepare the red pepper coulis and house-made tartar sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crab cakes topped with red pepper coulis, drizzled with chive oil, and alongside lemon greens.
