Spicy Crab Cakes With Lemon Aioli Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the crab, spring onions, chilli and coriander in a large bowl. Heat a small frying pan and toast the sesame seeds. While they're still hot, use a pestle and mortar to roughly grind, then tip into the bowl with the crab. Add the breadcrumbs, egg yolk and seasoning, and mix lightly. Shape into 6 patties and chill for at least 30 mins.
• For the aïoli, mix the mayonnaise, zests and a squeeze of lemon juice. Heat 0.5cm depth oil in a non-stick frying pan. Dust the crab cakes with a little flour and fry gently for 3 mins on each side until crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper. Serve the crab cakes with the zesty mayonnaise, wedges of lime and a few coriander leaves scattered over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚. Brush a 24-cup mini-muffin pan (preferably nonstick) with olive oil.
• Mix the crab meat, crushed crackers, mayonnaise, egg white, chives, lemon zest and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until combined. Fill the muffin cups with the crab mixture. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Bake the crab cakes until warmed through and browned around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the pan. Top with more chipotle mayonnaise and chopped chives.

Steps:

• Mix first 10 ingredients together, being careful to not overmix or break up the crab chunks.
• Dust a sheet pan or piece of tinfoil with flour. Carefully form little patties with the mixture and drop them onto the sheet pan or foil to dust with flour. Don't overhandle as the mixture will be very soft and wet. If the mixture is too wet, add more crumbs, or some flour.
• Meanwhile, melt butter into 2 tbs of the olive oil and heat a sauté pan to medium-high. Carefully drop cakes into pan with a spatula. Cook on one side until brown and crisp.
• Turn carefully, cook on the other side until brown and crisp and the inside of the cakes are cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side.
• Serve hot, topped with aioli and a few sliced green onions for garnish.
• For the sauce:.
• Mash garlic into a fine paste with the side of a knife on a cutting board, using salt as an abrasive. Mix all ingredients together. Serve with the crab cakes.

Steps:

• Stir mayonnaise and sriracha hot sauce together in a bowl until the color is consistent; add lime juice and stir.
