Crab Cakes Reid Recipes

Steps:

• Place the 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons oil, onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, break the lump crabmeat into small pieces and toss with the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the cooked mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into bite-sized crab cakes.
• Heat the butter and olive oil for frying over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the crab cakes and fry for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a 250 degree oven and serve hot.

Steps:

• Mix together eggs, mayo, OLD BAY, pepper, worcestershire sauce, and mustard, until creamy.
• Add bread crumbs, mixing evenly.
• Add in the crab meat, being sure to mix evenly.
• Shape into cakes.
• Makes 6 large or 9 medium crabcakes.
• Saute in pan with a little oil for about 5 minutes on each side.
• You can also broil them until brown. This may require you to flip them, depending on your pan.
• Serve with tartar sauce and lemon.
• Tip: Try a crabcake sandwich. I use a Martin's Brand potato roll topped with tartar sauce and crisp lettuce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all ingredients, except crab meat and bread crumbs.
• Using gloved hands, gently mix in crab meat, then add bread crumbs.
• Spread a thin layer of plain bread crumbs on your work surface.
• Form crab mixture into equal balls, approximately two inches in diameter.
• Place on crumbs, gently flatten the balls of crab mixture & round the edges. Form the cakes about one-half inch thick & three inches round.
• Refrigerate.
• In a sauté pan heat 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Gently slide in two crab cakes at a time.
• Brown on one side approximately two-to-three minutes. Turn and brown the other side.
• Turn down heat and simmer crab cakes another 5-8 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Saute green onions briefly until tender.
• Combine crabmeat, sauteed green onions, egg, mayonnaise, dry mustard, crushed crackers, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, lemon, salt and pepper with your hands. Work the ingredients together so they start to stick together.
• Form into 1/2 inch thick patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the non-stick skillet over medium-medium high heat. * works really well on a flat griddle.
• Cook cakes until nicely browned on each side.
• Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Whisk egg and dressing in large bowl until well blended. Add crabmeat; mix well. Gently stir in remaining ingredients. Let stand 3 min.
• Shape into 24 cakes, using about 1 Tbsp. crabmeat mixture for each. Place in single layer on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 5 to 7 min. on each side or until heated through and golden brown on both sides.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water for about 15 mins, drain, then return to the pan and leave to steam dry for about 5 mins. Mash, then leave to cool.
• In a large bowl mix the crabmeat, capers, spring onions, lemon zest and half the juice with half the dill. Stir in the mashed potato with some seasoning, then shape into 12 neat round patties. Transfer these to a plate and put in the fridge for 20 mins to firm up.
• To make the dill mayonnaise, mix the mayo with the remaining lemon juice and dill. Put this in the fridge for later.
• Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs on 3 separate plates. Dust the crab cakes all over with the flour, then dip into the egg and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
• Add enough sunflower oil to a shallow frying pan to come about 1cm up the side. Heat the oil, then carefully slide the crab cakes in; you might have to do this in batches. Cook for about 3 mins on each side until they are crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper. At this point you can pop the crab cakes into the oven to keep warm - or serve right away with dill mayonnaise and extra lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Sautee the red pepper, celery, and onion in the butter 5 minute.
• or until tender.
• Cool slightly.

• I serve cocktail sauce and tartar sauce with them.
• I've also made the cakes much smaller and served them as appetizers.

Steps:

• To make the crabcakes: mix together the mayonnaise, egg, Old Bay seasoning, if using, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and parsley. Fold crabmeat into the mix, then add the breadcrumbs. Chill for 20 mins before shaping into 6 equal-sized cakes.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan, add the olive oil and brown the crabcakes on each side. Then transfer to the oven for 10 mins or until cooked through.
• To make the butter sauce: boil the white wine, shallots, thyme and bay leaf until reduced to about 3 tbsp. Add the cream and bring back to the boil. Remove from the heat and slowly add the butter, whisking all the time. Finish the sauce with fresh lemon juice and season to taste.
• To serve, put the crabcakes onto plates, add a little pot of sauce and serve with dressed green salad leaves.
