BROWN RICE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• For the crab cakes: In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, rice, mayonnaise, scallions, Dijon, tarragon, seafood seasoning, egg and lemon zest and juice. 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.
• Using a small ice-cream scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop out the mixture by heaping tablespoons, then form each into a small cake and place the cakes on a sheet stray. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm them up.
• Heat the canola oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Spread about 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate and lightly dredge the crab cakes in the breadcrumbs. Working in two batches, fry the crab cakes until golden on both sides and heated through, 2 to 3 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.
• For the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, tarragon, basil, dill, lemon zest and juice. Season with salt.
• For serving: Serve the crab cakes alongside the aioli or place a dollop of aioli on each. Serve with lemon wedges.

WILD RICE CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees.Using a serrated knife, remove crusts from bread. Place trimmed bread on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven, and cook until dry, about 15 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool. In a food processor, chop bread very finely (you need about 1 1/4 cups), and set aside.
• Rinse rice under cold running water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat. Stir in wild rice, and lower heat to medium low. Cook rice, stirring often, until water has evaporated and rice has popped, about 55 minutes. Drain rice through a colander. Set aside to cool.
• Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a medium nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic, and stir until fragrant. Add carrot, celery, and yellow pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, combine cooked wild rice, vegetables, and eggs. Gently fold in breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and refrigerate until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the liquids, about 1 hour.
• Using a 2-ounce ice-cream scoop, firmly pack rice mixture into scoop. Place ball of rice mixture on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat (French nonstick baking mat or parchment paper). Gently press down with your damp palm to flatten rice into a cake. Repeat with remaining rice mixture to form eight cakes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil in a medium nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Using a wide spatula, carefully transfer four rice cakes into pan. Saute until lightly browned and set on the edges, about 5 minutes. Gently turn rice cakes, and saute for 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining rice cakes. Serve immediately.
