BROWN RICE CRAB CAKES
Leftover brown rice helps stretch a pound of crab into eight good-size crab cakes. I get the best results with cooked rice that has first been spread on a plate and chilled in the refrigerator, which dries it out a bit. Depending on your preference, serve with Perfect Herb Mayonnaise or Ultimate Cocktail Sauce on the side.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the crab, mayonnaise, rice, scallions, egg, lemon zest and juice, and tarragon. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs and stir them in. You should be able to make a crab cake that just holds together but is still a bit wet. If the mixture is too wet to hold together (and it might be, depending on how wet the crab and cooked rice are), stir in up to 1/4 cup more breadcrumbs.
- Form the mixture into eight 1-inch-thick cakes and put on a plate or platter. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm them up.
- When ready to cook the crab cakes, heat 1/2 inch oil in a large nonstick skillet and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Spread about 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate and lightly dredge the crab cakes in breadcrumbs. Fry the crab cakes in 2 batches until golden on both sides and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain the first batch on paper towels and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the second batch. Season the crab cakes with salt and serve with lemon wedges.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cool water and let sit until absorbed, about 5 minutes. Put the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir to melt the gelatin.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the gelatin mixture, the egg and egg yolk, mustard, sugar, garlic, and herbs and process until smooth. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow steady stream (just drips at first, adding more rapidly once the mayonnaise begins to thicken) to make a very thick mayonnaise. Stop and add the lemon juice and vinegar once the mixture begins to thicken and then add the remaining oil, stopping just before it has thickened to your liking. It will thicken a bit more once it is chilled.
- Scrape into a small bowl, season with salt and pepper, and cover the surface with plastic wrap. Chill until ready to use. The mayonnaise will keep 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator, though the garlic flavor will intensify over time.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, chile sauce, the prepared horseradish, the fresh horseradish, lemon juice, onion, and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate until will chilled. The cocktail sauce will keep up to 3 days, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. It may separate, so give it a quick stir again before serving.

Steps:
- Mix together the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and seafood seasoning in a bowl. Fold in the cracker crumbs and crabmeat until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab too much.

- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add cakes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the crab cakes to a plate or platter and repeat with the remaining crab cakes, adding more oil if needed. Hold in the warm oven until ready to serve. Serve warm with remoulade.

Steps:
- Place the garlic and the spring onions into the bowl of a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Add the crabmeat, wasabi, rice vinegar, tamari or soy sauce and the rice flour to the bowl. Blend the mixture again until it has combined to form a rough paste.
- In a large frying pan, add enough oil to fill the pan to a depth of 1/4-inch. Heat the oil until a bread cube sizzles and turns golden-brown when added (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended).
- Roll teaspoonfuls of crab mixture into balls with your hands. Flatten the balls slightly and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry the crab cakes until they turn golden-brown on both sides and are cooked through (only cook 8 to 10 crab cakes at a time so that they can be turned quickly and the oil temperature doesn't drop too much). Drain the crab cakes on kitchen paper.
- To serve place the crab cakes on a clean plate and place the lime segments around the plate.
THE BEST CRAB CAKES
When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
- Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
- Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
- Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
