Growing up near the Chesapeake Bay you learn that crabs are as valuable as gold. My mom made crab cakes every Friday in the summer months, but I like my recipe just a tad better. Don't tell mom.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large egg
1/4 cup (60g) mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (up to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons for a spicier kick)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus more for serving
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pound fresh lump crab meat*
2/3 cup (41g) Saltine cracker crumbs (about 14 crackers)
optional: 2 Tablespoons (30g) melted salted or unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg, mayonnaise, parsley, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, lemon juice, and salt together in a large bowl. Place the crab meat on top, followed by the cracker crumbs. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, very gently and carefully fold together. You don't want to break up that crab meat!
  • Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Generously grease a rimmed baking sheet with butter or nonstick spray or line with a silicone baking mat.
  • Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, portion the crab cake mixture into 6 mounds on the baking sheet. (Don't flatten!) Use your hands or a spoon to compact each individual mound so there aren't any lumps sticking out or falling apart. For extra flavor, brush each with melted butter. This is optional but recommended!
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges and on top. Drizzle each with fresh lemon juice and serve warm.
  • Cover leftover crab cakes tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

PERFECT MARYLAND CRAB CAKES



Perfect Maryland Crab Cakes image

Categories     appetizer

Yield Yield: 6 crab cakes, enough fo

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices soft white bread
1 1/2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 cups backfin crabmeat from a refrigerated tin
Salt
2 cups jumbo lump crabmeat from a refrigerated tin
Maryland Crab Seasoning, to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 cup melted unsalted butter
4 tablespoons thick mayonnaise
Lard
Vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Trim the crusts from the bread; discard, or reserve for another use. Tear the remaining bread into little pieces (about 20 pieces per slice); handle the bread lightly, so the pieces remain fluffy and don't flatten out. Place the bread pieces in a bowl, and sprinkle them with the wine; toss lightly to distribute the wine evenly.
  • Pick over the backfin and the jumbo lump crabmeat to remove any bits of shell. In a large mixing bowl, toss together the backfin and jumbo lump crabmeat. Season to taste with salt and with Maryland crab seasoning. Add the soaked bread, beaten eggs, lemon juice, and melted butter; toss lightly, making sure to keep the crab lumps whole. Add the mayonnaise, and toss the mixture gently with your hands, distributing the mayonnaise evenly. Taste again for seasoning, if desired (if you don't want to taste raw egg, you can saute a bit of the mixture in butter). For even better flavor, allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours.
  • When you are ready to cook, place a large, heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium-high heat; the pan should have enough room for 3 crab cakes. Add enough lard and vegetable oil (in fifty-fifty production) to create a 1-inch depth of oil. When the oil is medium-hot, quickly shape 1/2 the crab mixture with your hands into 3 cakes, each roughly the size and shape of a large hamburger. Gently place the cakes in the oil, making sure to preserve their shapes. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cakes are golden on one side. Flip them carefully with a spatula, and fry on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. After about 8 minutes, the cakes should be golden brown on all sides and heated through (you want the pieces of bread inside to virtually disappear). Remove the cakes from the pan, and place them on paper towels. Repeat and make 3 more cakes with the remaining mixture.

Categories     appetizer

Yield 8 servings as an appetizer; 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat
1 sweet red pepper, finely diced
1 sweet yellow pepper, finely diced
6 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh garlic
2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons "Old Bay" brand seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil for sauteing

Steps:

  • Clean the crabmeat of all shell fragments without breaking or crumbling the delicate lumps.
  • Place the bread in a food processor and, using the metal blade, process until finely crumbled. Measure and reserve 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs to use in the filling. The remaining bread crumbs will be used to coat the crab cakes.
  • Mix the crabmeat with the sweet peppers, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro leaves, and mayonnaise. Add the "Old Bay" seasoning powder, 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Mix well, then refrigerate for twenty minutes before continuing.
  • Cover a work surface with waxed paper sprinkled with the reserved bread crumbs. Using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop, form eight equal-size portions of crabmeat. With the palm of your hand pat each portion into a disk-shaped cake approximately 3/4-inch thick. It is important for the crab cakes to be the same thickness so that they will cook uniformly. Press each cake into the bread crumbs, turning them so they coat evenly on all sides. Refrigerate for at least an hour to prevent them from crumbling during cooking.
  • No more than half an hour before you plan to serve the crab cakes, add enough oil to cover the bottom of an oven-proof saute pan. Heat until just before it begins to smoke. Add the crab cakes gently, being careful not to crowd the pan. (Cook them in two batches if necessary.) When the crab cakes are well browned on both sides, place in a 375 degree F. oven for six minutes to ensure that they are fully cooked and hot at the center. Serve with mesclun salad, chili mayonnaise and garnish with finely chopped tomato.
