Cajun Corn And Crab Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Flake the crabmeat into a large bowl and add the bread crumbs, mustard, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, eggs and onion. Mix well but don't overwork or the cakes will be mealy. Divide the mixture into 16 balls and flatten slightly to form the cakes. (The recipe can be made to this point and the cakes can be refrigerated overnight or frozen for up to 1 week.)
• Pour 1/2-inch of vegetable oil into a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high. When oil is hot, fry the cakes in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
• Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat egg.
• Carefully pick through crabmeat, removing any pieces of shell. Keep lumps of crabmeat as large as possible.
• To beaten egg, add crabmeat, Cajun spice blend, mayonnaise and corn.
• Using a round mold or by hand, form crab mixture into about 24 two-inch-wide flat cakes.
• On sheet of waxed paper, evenly spread crumbs.
• Dredge cakes lightly in bread crumbs to coat.
• Heat nonstick skillet over moderate heat; add olive oil.
• Add cakes to skillet; cook through, turning once when first side is nicely browned.
• Remove and drain crab cakes on absorbent paper.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pan.

• Increase the heat to medium, pour in the wine, and cook for 2 minutes, until the alcohol has evaporated.
• Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil, then add the corn, cayenne, and mixed herbs.
• Bring back to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add the heavy cream and simmer gently over very low heat for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Do not let the soup boil.

Transfer to a large bowl. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add crab, egg white, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, mayonnaise and lemon zest. Mix well.
• Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (about 1/2 cup each). Form each portion into an oblong patty that's about 4 inches by 2 inches. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and 2 teaspoons oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 heaping teaspoon of the breadcrumb mixture over the top of each croquette, then gently press it on.
• Bake the croquettes until heated through and golden brown on top, about 20 minutes.

• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the onion, garlic, and celery and cook 1 minute. Add the Cajun seasoning to taste. Stir in the broth, corn, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then pour in the milk, cream, and liquid crab boil. When the mixture begins to simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer 7 minutes. Stir in the roux, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending thoroughly. Continue to cook, on low heat, whisking until mixture thickens. Stir in crabmeat, green onions, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer 6 to 8 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
