EMERIL'S GULFCOAST FISHHOUSE CRAB CAKES WITH SWEET CORN MAQUE CHOUX AND TOMATO JAM RECIPE - (5/5)
Provided by smoker
Number Of Ingredients 35
Steps:
- Carefully pick through the crabmeat, discarding any shells or cartilage. Try to retain as many lumps as possible. Transfer to a mixing bowl and refrigerate while you prepare the remaining ingredients. In a medium skillet melt the butter and cook the red bell pepper, onion, and celery until softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of Essence and set aside to cool. When the vegetables have cooled, add them to the crabmeat, along with mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, and 1/4 cup of the panko. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine. Add salt, to taste. Divide the crab cake mixture into 8 equal portions and, using your hands, form into cakes about 2 1/2 to 3-inches in diameter. Dredge the crab cakes in the remaining panko until cakes are completely coated on all sides. In a medium skillet heat half of the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking and add as many crab cakes as will fit comfortably, usually 3 to 4. Cook until golden brown on both sides and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly while you add the remaining oil and cook the remaining crab cakes. Gently transfer to serving plates and serve with the Sweet Corn Maque Choux and a dollop of the Tomato Jam. Sweet Corn Maque Choux: 1 teaspoon olive oil 2 teaspoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup small-diced onion 1/4 cup small-diced red bell pepper 1/4 cup small-diced celery 2 cups sweet yellow corn 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon Essence 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup whole milk Heat a 10-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the pan and cook until the butter is melted, about 45 seconds. Add the onions, bell peppers and celery to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, and the peppers and celery are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the corn, garlic, Essence, salt and cayenne to the pan and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the cream and milk to the pan and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook the corn until tender and most of the cream has reduced and the maque choux is creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Tomato Jam: 1 cup peeled, seeded and chopped tomatoes 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon light corn syrup 1 tablespoon honey 1 clove garlic, smashed 1 pinch cayenne pepper Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature before serving.

Categories Shellfish
Number Of Ingredients 29
Steps:
- For the Crab Cakes Roughly chop the vegetables in a food processor. Stir in mayonnaise and lemon juice and remove to a bowl. Stir in mustard and seasonings and then gently fold in crab and bread crumbs. Form mixture into individual crab cakes and pan sear in vegetable oil until golden brown on each side. If the cakes are thick, put them into the oven at 350 degrees to bake all the way through. For the Roasted Corn Succotash Roast corn in husks at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until the husks start to brown. Cool and then peel and corn the corn off the cob. Rub peppers with oil and roast at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes until blackened on all sides. Alternately, char the peppers on a burner or a grill. Cool peppers, remove skin, and dice. In a sauté pan, melt butter, then add garlic and onions and cook until wilted. Stir in corn, peppers, and herbs. Toss to heat through and season to taste. For the Remoulade Combine all ingredients and refrigerate.
Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use fresh corn and crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn that has been thawed and drained.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the crab cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the crab cakes over medium heat: Cooking the crab cakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Crab cakes are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.

Corn and crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover corn and crab meat, and they can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.
