Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces crabmeat
1/4 cup minced roasted red peppers from jar
Basil Aioli
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs (from about 8 ounces of French bread)
2 large egg yolks
All purpose flour
2 egg whites, beaten just until foamy
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Combine crabmeat, red peppers, 3 tablespoons Basil Aioli and lemon peel in large bowl. Mix in 1 1/3 cups breadcrumbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in yolks (mixture will be soft).
  • Form crab mixture into eight 3/4-inch-thick cakes, using generous 1/4 cupful for each. Coat cakes on both sides with flour; shake off excess. Brush both sides with beaten whites, then coat with remaining breadcrumbs. Cover; chill at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
  • Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook cakes until golden brown and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Place 2 cakes on each plate. Serve with remaining Basil Aioli.

CRAB CAKES WITH AIOLI DIPPING SAUCE



Crab Cakes With Aioli Dipping Sauce image

Green onion potato chips instead of bread crumbs? Yes! They fry up to a nice, crunchy golden brown. Many brands are gluten free, which is critical for me. If you like crab cakes without a lot of filler, I recommend trying this recipe. I also highly recommend using a cast iron skillet for frying them. My husband deemed these the best crab cakes he'd ever eaten, and said he'd also love to try them on a potato roll with lettuce, tomato and the dipping sauce. A great, quick and easy side dish that also cooks in about 8-10 minutes is fresh asparagus sauteed in olive oil with chopped garlic, then drizzled with lemon juice and kosher salt just before it's done cooking.

Time 18m

Yield 4 patties, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces lump crabmeat, shells picked out
1 1/2 cups finely crushed green onion flavor potato chips (I use Mikesell's brand)
1/4 cup real mayonnaise (do not substitute)
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 dash white pepper
1/2 tablespoon worchestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
unsalted butter (for frying, approx. 2-4 tablespoons)
1 lemon, cut in half (other half is for the dipping sauce)
1 fresh garlic clove
1/2 cup real mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons horseradish mustard (I use Grey Poupon Horseradish Mustard)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 dash kosher salt (optional)

Steps:

  • In a mini chopper, finely crush the potato chips.
  • In a med. size bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Old Bay, white pepper, worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard until creamy.
  • Add the crab meat and mix evenly but gently so as not to break up the clumps of crab too much. Clumps of crab are a good thing!
  • Gently stir in 1/4 cup crushed potato chips.
  • Form the mixture into 4 patties and coat with remaining potato chip crumbs.
  • Melt about 2 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat. Add more butter if needed.
  • When the butter starts to sizzle, gently place the crab cakes into the pan (they're delicate).
  • Sprinkle with a little kosher salt if desired and cook for about 4 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the patties, and drizzle with lemon juice from 1/2 of the lemon. Cook for 4 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Dipping Sauce: Place all ingredients in mini chopper and push the button. That's it! Make it ahead of time if desired and refrigerate.
