Steps:
- Make the cakes: put the crabmeat on a cutting board and chop it into small pieces-no piece of crab should be larger than the size of a pea (it is important to chop the crab so you get a nice tight pack in the mold without air spaces).
- Transfer crabmeat to a bowl; add in garlic, shallots, chives, basil, and pepper to taste.
- Set 4 ring molds on a work surface; divide crab mixture among molds, packing the crab as tightly as you can into each mold with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- Put the bread crumbs on a plate; leaving the crabmeat in the mold, use a spoon to generously spread an even layer of egg wash on the crabmeat.
- Turn the mold upside down (egg-washed side down) onto the plate of bread crumbs.
- If the crabmeat is not even with the edge of the mold on both sides, push down on the crabmeat with your fingers so the egg-washed side makes contact with the bread crumbs.
- Generously spoon the egg wash over the unbreaded side of the mold, and turn the mold upside down again to bread-crumb the other side, pushing down on the crabmeat if needed to make contact with the crumbs.
- Both top and bottom sides of the crabmeat in the mold should be evenly covered with a layer of egg wash and crumbs; set the mold aside and repeat with the remaining molds.
- Set a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat; add in the oil; when skillet is hot, pick up a mold and place in the pan, then use your fingers to carefully push the crab cake out of the mold, removing the mold from the pan.
- Repeat with the remaining molds; cook the crab cakes until browned on the first side, about 1 minute, then very carefully turn them over, using a spatula, and brown the second side, about 1 minute.
- Set out 4 plates and set a crab cake on each plate; suggested to serve with Clam Aioli ladled around each cake, sprinkled with chives.

PIER 23 DUNGENESS CRAB CAKE
Steps:
- For the pickled celery: Stir together the vinegar, salt and sugar in a small bowl. Add celery sticks, as many as can be covered with the solution. Cover and let cool 1 hour.
- For the crab cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl add hot sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest and juice. Mix thoroughly. Add scallion, parsley and 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled celery (save the remainder for another use). Mix to incorporate. Add 1/2 cup panko. Mix.
- Add 1 pound crab meat, being careful not to break apart too much.
- Place the egg white and remaining 1/2 pound crab meat into a blender. Blend on high, until a smooth paste is achieved. Transfer to the bowl with the crab mixture.
- Mix to incorporate all. (Mixture should hold together when squeezed in hand. If very wet, add more panko.) Divide evenly into four portions and form into patties. Gently coat in the remaining panko. Set aside until ready to cook.
- Heat oil in an oven-safe saute pan until hot. Carefully add crab cakes to pan. Sear until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and sear other side, 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Transfer pan to oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and place crab cakes on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In mixing bowl, mix lettuces and Pepitas with champagne vinaigrette. Spoon 2 tablespoons Mustard Crema onto a serving plate. Divide salad among plates.
- Top each with crab cakes. Serve with lemon wedges.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, toss pumpkin seeds with oil and salt. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until toasted, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Mix mascarpone, mustard and lemon zest and juice in a bowl until well mixed. Thin with heavy cream until desired consistency. (It should be spreadable and smooth.) Season with salt to taste. Reserve cold until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Make the cocktail sauce: put tomatillos in a food processor; process until coarsely pureed.
- Remove the puree into a sieve; drain off the liquid, and discard.
- Put the drained puree into a small bowl and stir in the vinegar, sugar, Tabasco, garlic, mustard seeds, and horseradish until combined (the cocktail sauce can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator).
- Make the mayonnaise: tear up the white bread and pulse the pieces in a food processor to make fine, soft crumbs (should have about 6 cups crumbs).
- Remove bread crumbs to a shallow pan; mix in ½ cup chopped parsley; set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the egg yolk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, mustard, paprika, thyme, celery seeds, and black pepper; pulse to combine.
- With the motor running, slowly add the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream until the mixture emulsifies and forms a mayonnaise; remove mayonnaise from the food processor and refrigerate.
- Place crabmeat in a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a bowl; pull the cheesecloth tightly around the crabmeat and squeeze out as much juice as possible.
- Put the chopped onions and bell peppers in a sieve over a bowl and use your hands to squeeze out as much juice as possible.
- In a big bowl, combine the onions and bell peppers with the remaining ¼ cup parsley; add in the chilled mayonnaise and crabmeat; toss lightly to combine.
- Add 1 cup of the breadcrumb mixture and combine.
- Do not overwork the mixture or the crabcakes may get gummy.
- Gently form 8 patties and roll the patties lightly in the remaining breadcrumb mixture.
- Leave the crabcakes in the pan of bread crumbs until you saute them.
- Preheat the oven to 425°; using a nonstick saute pan and butter as needed, panfry the crabcakes, in batches, until golden brown on both sides and place them on a baking sheet as they are browned.
- When all the crabcakes are browned, put them in the oven until they are heated all the way through, 5-8 minutes.
- To plate: serve one crabcake as an appetizer or two as an entree; serve with a ramekin of cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge.
- **Note-the crabcakes actually hold together better if prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator before cooking; store them in the pan of breadcrumbs, covering with plastic wrap.
- Wine suggestion-a lightly oaked Chardonnay.
