Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, gently mix the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped parsley, and beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Carefully fold in the Panko breadcrumbs until just combined. Form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Place the crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Blanch asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until vibrant green. Transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Make Charred Scallion Gribiche

    In a bowl, combine charred scallions (grilled or sautéed), chopped hard-boiled eggs, capers, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Serve

    On a plate, arrange the chilled asparagus and petite greens. Place the crab cakes on top and drizzle with charred scallion gribiche.
