Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cakes

    In a large bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form mixture into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add crab cakes and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Limoncello Cream Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, limoncello, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  4. 4

    Wilt the Baby Greens

    In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add baby spinach and salt, sauté until greens are wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, place a bed of wilted baby greens, top with crab cakes, and drizzle with limoncello cream sauce.
