Chive Crab Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire, chives, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Fold in crackers and crab just until combined. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, form mixture into 3-inch round patties.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Cook half of patties until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes a side. Repeat with remaining oil and patties. Sprinkle with chives and serve, with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, lightly beat the egg whites and egg. Add 3/4 cup bread crumbs, chives, flour, pepper sauce, baking powder, salt and pepper; mix well. Fold in crab. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. , Place remaining bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Drop crab mixture by scant 1/4 cupfuls into crumbs. Gently coat and shape into 1/2-in.-thick patties. , In a large nonstick skillet, cook crab cakes in oil in batches over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. If desired, serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crab cakes: In a large bowl, combine the crab, crackers, mayonnaise, chives, mustard, lemon zest and egg. Mix together well. Form palm-sized cakes and place them on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the crab cakes in batches, about 2 minutes on each side. Put them back on the baking tray and in the oven for 10 minutes.
• For the spicy mayo: Using a blender or food processor, beat the egg with the Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar. Slowly add the canola oil until the mixture starts to emulsify and becomes very creamy in texture. Add water if necessary to make a thinner texture. Add the sriracha sauce. Continue to process for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• When ready to serve, garnish the crab cakes with a dollop of spicy mayo.

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.

Steps:

• Mix first 6 ingredients in processor until pale green and well blended. Transfer to small bowl. Stir in capers. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. (Can be made 1 day ahead.)

Steps:

• Sort through crab and discard any bits of shell. In a large bowl, combine celery, minced chives, mayonnaise, egg, mustard, and hot sauce; mix well with a fork.
• Add crab and 1/4 cup panko; stir gently just to mix.
• Put remaining 1 cup panko in a shallow bowl.
• Shape crab mixture into 24 cakes, each about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Turn each cake in panko to coat on all sides, pressing gently to make crumbs adhere.
• Place cakes slightly apart in an oiled 12- by 17-inch baking pan. Bake in a 475°F regular or convection oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
• With a spatula, transfer crab cakes to a platter. Spoon a dollop of Roasted Pepper-Chive Aioli onto each cake. Garnish platter with fresh chives. Serve hot.
• For the Aioli.

Steps:

• Place crab meat, bread, cayenne and herbs into bowl and combine.
• In another bowl, whisk together the mayo, mustard, egg and additional yolk.
• Season with pepper to taste.
• Slowly pour dressing into the crab meat mixture, using a fork to gently lift and fluff the texture.
• Use only enough liquid to cause the mixture to just cling together; don't overwork.
• Form into cake about 3 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch high.
• Lay onto plate, cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour, until firmed up.
• To get superfine cracker crumbs and breadcrumbs, whir everything up in a food processor.
• Before cooking, dip cakes into cracker crumbs to coat.
• This prevents the crab meat edges from getting tough and chewy when sauteeing.
• Heat butter in frying pan until foamy.
• Add crab cakes, and let saute until browned on the bottom.
• Turn them just once, and brown the other side.
• Keep warm until all cakes have been sauteed.
• Arrange on platter with wedges of lemon.

• Place 2 cups breadcrumbs on plate. Using 1 tablespoon crab mixture for each, form 1-inch-diameter patties. Coat each crab cake with breadcrumbs. Cover; chill at least 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Position rack 6 inches below broiler and preheat broiler. Brush 2 baking sheets with oil. Arrange crab cakes on baking sheets, spacing evenly. Broil until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. (Can be cooked 30 minutes before serving. Keep warm in 300°F. oven.)
• Transfer crab cakes to platter. Top each with dollop of sauce and basil sprig.
