Tonight I tried out Paula Deen's Crab Cakes. I have to say they were pretty good. Now I used fake King Crab and Lump Crab but no one complained.
I used
1 or 2 sm red peppers ( from my garden :) ) or use one med cut into cubes
3 cloves of Garlic
2 or 3 tablespoons of Olive Oil
I roasted these for about 45 minutes at 325 Oven
Now you can make your own mayo I just used Miracle Whip next time I may try Hellmans
3/4 Cup Mayo of choice
1/2 Cup Roasted Red Peppers
3 cloves of Roasted Garlic
3 Tablespoons of fresh Chives ( from my Garden)
1 teaspoon of minced garlic (from a jar)
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
Add everything except the chives to your food processor or what ever you blend things up with and blend till as smooth as you like. I like little flecks of the red pepper to show then add the chives and stir until blended. Put in the fridge to chill and to let the flavours blend.
Paula Deen's Crab Cakes
1 lb of King Crab
1/3 Cup Ritz Crackers Crushed
3 Green Onions chopped Fine
1/2 Green Pepper ( I used Orange) Chopped Fine
1/4 Cup Mayo
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
1/2 Lemon Juiced
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
Dash of Cayenne ( I used Chipolte)
Flour (I used Panko)
Oil (for Frying)

| Add all the ingredients together and mix well |
Make little patties and then roll in the flour. I used Panko for extra crunch but I'm thinking maybe
thats why there were a little too dark around the edges.

| Fry 3-4 minutes or until golden on each side I served them with the Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Aioli but you can used what ever sauce you like I also sliced head lettuce really thin and placed the Crab Cakes on top it gave a nice crunch. Well there is it my first FOOD Blog now as always who knows if I will keep it up but really I have nothing better to do so I might as well eh BON APPETITE ! |
