Jalapeno Remoulade Recipes

Steps:

• To Make Jalapeno Remoulade: (Note: Makes about 1 ¼ cups. For the best results, make this spicy condiment a few hours in advance and then cover and refrigerate, so the flavors have time to develop.).
• Whisk together all the ingredients in a mixing bowl; cover and refrigerate until needed.
• To Make Crab Cakes: Place the crab meat in a large mixing bowl and carefully pick through for shells; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, poblano, garlic, salt, chile powder, black pepper, and cayenne and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a mixing bowl and set aside to cool for about 15 minutes.
• Add the crab, the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, scallion, parsley, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs to the vegetable mixture. Using your hands, gently combine the ingredients.
• Using a 1-cup measuring cup, form the mixture into cakes, packing gently; they should look like hockey pucks, about 2 inches thick with straight sides. Cover the cakes and chill for 20 to 30 minutes, or overnight.
• When you are ready to cook the crab cakes, place the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs in a pie tin. Dredge both sides of each cake in the crumbs, shaking off the excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, fry the crab cakes for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan-fry in batches if necessary, adding more oil if needed. Serve immediately, with Jalapeño Remoulade.

Steps:

• For the remoulade: Chop all the ingredients together and add them to the mayonnaise in the food processor; pulse a few times for them to blend. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.;
• First make the mayonnaise: In a non-reactive bowl or in a food processor, combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and water. Whisk or pulse with the machine to break up the yolks.
• If you're making the mayonnaise by hand, put the bowl on a damp towel to keep it from moving around while you work. Then drizzle in the oils, whisking constantly, to form an emulsion. If the mayonnaise breaks, stop drizzling and whisk until it comes together again. If you're using the food processor, pour in the oils in a thin stream, with the machine running. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and more lemon juice.

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together all ingredients until blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.
