Crab Cake Recipe

Crab Cake Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, and season with salt and black pepper. Gently fold in the bread crumbs until well incorporated.

2. 2

   Shape the Cakes

   Form the mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Chill

   Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

4. 4

   Cook the Cakes

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

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve warm, garnished with savory lemon curd, asparagus coulis, and red watercress on the side.
