Steps:
- To make the sauce:
- In a medium bowl, toss the cucumber with the salt. Let stand about 1 hour. Transfer to a sieve and rinse well under cold running water. Pat the cucumber dry.
- In a small bowl, mix the drained cucumber, mayonnaise, scallion, capers, and anchovy paste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (The tartar sauce can be prepared up to 3 days ahead.)
- To make the crab cakes:
- Mix the 1/2 cup bread crumbs, the mayonnaise, egg, mustard, scallion, Worcestershire sauce, and Delmarva or Old Bay seasoning. Mix in the crabmeat with wet hands, form into 6 cakes about 3 inches wide. Place the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs in a deep plate. Coat the crab cakes in the crumbs and set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Into a large deep skillet (preferably cast iron), pour vegetable oil to a depth of 1/2 inch, and heat over high heat until very hot but not smoking. Carefully add the crab cakes and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to the paper towels to drain. Serve hot, with the tartar sauce on the side.
- To make Delmarva Seasoning: Mix 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon ground celery seed, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon ground bay leaf, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Will keep indefinitely in a tightly covered container in a cool, dark place. Makes about 3 tablespoons.
Tips:
- For the freshest crab cakes, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Gently mix the crab meat with the other ingredients. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
- Form the crab cakes into 1-inch balls, then flatten them slightly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat until they're golden brown and cooked through. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the crab cakes will steam instead of fry.
- Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. The curried yogurt sauce in this recipe is a great option.
Conclusion:
These crab cakes with curried yogurt sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They're perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. The crab cakes are packed with flavor and the curried yogurt sauce is the perfect complement. Give this recipe a try and you won't be disappointed!
