Crab Cake

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cakes

    In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into patties and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

    Blend the roasted red peppers, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a blender until smooth.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Caribbean Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Marinated Onion Straws

    Slice the onion into thin rings and soak in buttermilk for 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and salt. Dredge the soaked onion rings in the flour mixture and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Broil the Crab Cakes

    Preheat the broiler. Place the crab cakes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Broil for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a bed of sautéed Caribbean vegetables, top with crab cakes, drizzle with roasted red pepper sauce, and finish with marinated onion straws.
