Crab Cake And Fried Green Tomato Sliders Recipes

CRAB CAKE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Prepare the crab cakes: Tear 3 buns into small pieces to make about 3/4 cup; put in a medium bowl. Whisk 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, the melted butter, egg, Old Bay, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another bowl. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the bun pieces and stir to combine; let sit 10 minutes, then gently fold in the crabmeat. Brush a baking sheet with butter. Tightly pack the crab mixture into 15 small patties and arrange on the prepared baking sheet; refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden and slightly crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Break each piece of bacon into thirds; set aside. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the lemon zest and the reserved bacon drippings in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the broiler. Arrange the remaining 15 buns cut-side up on a baking sheet; brush with butter and broil until golden. Transfer the crab cakes to the broiler and cook, rotating the pan as needed, until golden and warmed through, about 6 minutes.
• Spread the cut sides of the buns with some of the lemon mayonnaise. Sprinkle with diced red onion. Serve the crab cakes on the buns with tomatoes, lettuce and the bacon. Serve with pickles.

FRIED GREEN TOMATO SLIDERS WITH GOAT CHEESE MAYO AND TOMATILLO-BACON RELISH

Steps:

• For the relish: Combine the tomatillos, onions, lime juice, cilantro and oil in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir in the bacon just before serving.
• For the mayo: Whisk the mayonnaise and goat cheese together in a bowl until well combined. Season with pepper.
• For the fried green tomatoes: Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Season the green tomatoes on both sides with salt and pepper. Put the flour, eggs and cornmeal in separate shallow dishes. Season all three with salt and pepper, and the eggs with the hot sauce.
• Heat a few inches of oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until beginning to shimmer (drop in a few grains of cornmeal -- they should sizzle) or a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Dredge the green tomatoes in the flour, tap off the excess, then dip in the egg wash. Let the excess drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal.
• Fry the green tomatoes in batches until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on the prepared rack and season with a bit more salt.
• Spread a teaspoon of goat cheese mayo on the top and bottom buns. Place a fried green tomato on the bottom buns, top with relish and serve.

FRIED GREEN TOMATO AND CRAB SALAD WITH SUMAC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat approximately 2-inches oil in large, heavy skillet to 325 degrees F. An electric- fryer can be used.
• Sprinkle both sides of tomatoes with salt and pepper. Combine the cornmeal, flour and Creole seasoning in a shallow dish. Dredge the tomatoes in the cornmeal mixture and fry until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
• For the vinaigrette:
• Add the vinegar, sumac, and salt and pepper to a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until combined. Remove and reserve 4 tablespoons. In a large bowl, add enough arugula for 4 servings. Pour the vinaigrette over the arugula and toss. Divide the arugula on serving plates, arrange 2 to 3 fried green tomatoes on the arugula and top with equal amounts of crabmeat. Drizzle reserved vinaigrette over the crabmeat and sprinkle with ground sumac. Serve immediately.

FRIED GREEN TOMATO, CRAB AND HAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Trim and discard the ends of the tomatoes, and halve tomatoes horizontally. In a medium mixing bowl combine 4 of the eggs, heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well blended. Dip tomato halves in egg mixture, turning to coat completely, then dust well with corn meal.
• In a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1/2 cup of the oil until sizzling. Add tomato halves, and fry until golden brown on each side, about 1 minute a side. Remove from heat, and drain on paper towels.
• In a large bowl combine the remaining 2 eggs, Old Bay seasoning, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, parsley, red pepper and baking powder. Stir until well blended. Gently fold in the crab meat without breaking up the lumps of meat. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of flour, and fold until just blended.
• In a clean skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of oil until sizzling. Divide crab meat mixture into 16 cakes about the same diameter as the tomato halves (about 2 1/2 tablespoons each). Lightly dust each cake with flour, and drop into hot oil. Fry until golden brown on each side, about 1 minute a side.
• To assemble, pour a small pool of Basil Sauce on each of eight serving plates. Place two fried green tomato halves in each pool. Top each tomato half with a crab cake, then with another fried tomato half. Garnish with a sprinkling of diced ham, and serve immediately.
