Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely minced
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 1/2 pounds jumbo lump crabmeat
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs (made from 4 or 5 slices white bread with the crusts removed and processed in food processor)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus more if needed
1 large egg white
1/2 lime, juiced
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves, plus whole leaves, for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 recipe Garlic Aioli with Celery Root, for serving, recipe follows
Lemon wedges, for garnish
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 2 cups shredded celery root, shredded using the grater attachment of a food processor or a mandoline
2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives

Steps:

  • Make the crab cakes first so they have time to firm up in the refrigerator before you cook them.
  • Heat a 2-count of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onion gets kind of caramelized. Dump that into a bowl and fold in the crabmeat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg white, lime juice, and cilantro, mixing just until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 6 fat crab cakes. Put them on a plate, cover, and stick them in the refrigerator to chill.
  • To serve, heat a 3-count of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook for about 4 minutes each side until nice and crisp. Serve on torn butcher paper with fresh lemon wedges and Garlic Aioli with Celery Root.
  • Mince garlic and make into paste using the side of your knife. Hint: to make this go faster add a bit of salt to the garlic and continue mashing with the side of your knife.
  • Place the paste in a large bowl and add: the sour cream, mayonnaise, celery seed, lemon juice, and oil. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fold in the shredded celery root and chives. Give it a final taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat. This will give your crab cakes the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will make them tough. Just gently combine the ingredients until they are evenly mixed.
  • Don't overcook the crab cakes. They should be cooked through, but still moist and tender. Cook them over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Cilantro mayonnaise is a classic choice, but you can also try tartar sauce, remoulade sauce, or even a simple lemon wedge.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even a snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make crab cakes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
