Best Sunnys Simple Crabcakes With Celery Root Remoulade Recipes

BAKED CRABCAKES WITH OLD BAY REMOULADE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the remoulade: Combine the mayonnaise, capers, chives, pickle juice, creole mustard, Old Bay, lemon zest and juice, and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined and smooth, about 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate.
• For the crabcakes: Combine the eggs, lemon zest and juice, mayonnaise, Old Bay, salt and hot sauce in a bowl; whisk together until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the backfin crabmeat and the crushed crackers, and mix until well combined. Gently fold in the lump crabmeat. Divide the crabcake mixture into six equal portions; roll each into a loose ball and place in a large cast-iron pan.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the crabcakes are golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Arrange the crabcakes on a large serving platter. Top each with a dollop of the remoulade. Serve immediately.

THE ULTIMATE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Make the crab cakes first so they have time to firm up in the refrigerator before you cook them.
• Heat a 2-count of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onion gets kind of caramelized. Dump that into a bowl and fold in the crabmeat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg white, lime juice, and cilantro, mixing just until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 6 fat crab cakes. Put them on a plate, cover, and stick them in the refrigerator to chill.
• To serve, heat a 3-count of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook for about 4 minutes each side until nice and crisp. Serve on torn butcher paper with fresh lemon wedges and Garlic Aioli with Celery Root.
• Mince garlic and make into paste using the side of your knife. Hint: to make this go faster add a bit of salt to the garlic and continue mashing with the side of your knife.
• Place the paste in a large bowl and add: the sour cream, mayonnaise, celery seed, lemon juice, and oil. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fold in the shredded celery root and chives. Give it a final taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

CELERY ROOT REMOULADE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, creme fraiche, lemon juice, and mustard. Add cornichons, parsley, tarragon, capers, and salt; season with pepper. Whisk to combine. Fold celery root into dressing; serve atop lettuce leaves.

CELERY-ROOT REMOULADE

Steps:

• Peel the celery root and cut out any deep brown grooves. Grate coarsely using a hand grater or food processor. Place in a bowl of cold water and add the lemon juice. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Drain, place in a towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
• To make the sauce, place all the ingredients except the oils, lemon juice and salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until very frothy, then slowly drizzle in the oils, with the machine still running, until well blended. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, taste and then gradually add enough more to make the sauce piquant but not too acidic. Adjust the salt and pepper.
• Toss the celery root with 1 cup remoulade sauce. Add more as needed to coat the celery root and make it juicy. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley.
