Crab Cake

Tomato and Leek Topping

Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Divide the crab mixture into equal portions and form into patties. You should get about 6 crab cakes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

Cooking the Crab Cakes

  1. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

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

Tomato and Leek Topping

  1. 5

    Sauté the Leeks

    In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped leeks and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the diced tomatoes to the leeks and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spring Legumes

  1. 7

    Prepare the Legumes

    In the same pan as the leeks and tomatoes, add the asparagus, snap peas, fennel, and roasted chilis. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender but still vibrant.
