CLASSIC CRAB CAKES
Our region is known for good seafood, and crab cakes are a traditional favorite. I learned to make them from a chef in a restaurant where they were a bestseller. The crabmeat's sweet and mild flavor is sparked by the blend of other ingredients. -Debbie Terenzini, Lusby, Maryland

Steps:
- Place the 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons oil, onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, break the lump crabmeat into small pieces and toss with the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the cooked mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into bite-sized crab cakes.
- Heat the butter and olive oil for frying over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the crab cakes and fry for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a 250 degree oven and serve hot.

Steps:
- Prepare the crab cakes In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot-pepper sauce, crabmeat, bread crumbs and chives. Stir with a fork until well mixed. Gently form the mixture into small patties about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You should have 18 to 20 patties. Transfer the patties to a baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the cakes to firm slightly. If freezing, place in the freezer (see note). Cook the crab cakes In a large fry pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Working in batches if necessary, add the crab cakes and cook, without moving them, until golden brown underneath, about 4 minutes. Turn the crab cakes over and cook until golden brown on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes more. Divide the greens among individual plates, top with 2 to 3 crab cakes and serve with the lemon wedges alongside. Serves 6.

Steps:
- Put the egg yolk, seafood seasoning, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and vinegar in the bowl of a food processor or a blender and process until smooth. Gradually pour in the oil with the machine running until the mixture emulsifies and forms a mayonnaise. Season with the salt and pepper. (Note: this quantity of mayonnaise will not emulsify in the bowl of the largest size food processor. Use a medium size food processor, a mini processor, or a blender.)
- Transfer the mayonnaise to a bowl and, using a rubber spatula, fold in the scallions and the crabmeat until well combined. Combine the bread crumbs and the parsley in a shallow container. Form the crab mixture into 8 patties about 3-inches wide and 3/4-inch thick and drop them into the bread crumb-parsley mixture. Dredge the crab cakes on both sides. If you have time, leave the crab cakes in the container of bread crumbs, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour or more.
- When you are ready to fry the crab cakes, put 2 large nonstick skillets over medium heat. Add about 2 tablespoons butter to each pan. When the butter is melted, add 4 crab cakes to each pan, patting off excess crumbs first. Slowly fry the crab cakes over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides and hot through, turning once with a spatula, about 4 minutes per side. If the crab cakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat. The internal temperature of a cooked crab cake should be 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Transfer the crab cakes to plates, 2 per person, and serve with your choice of sauce and lemon wedges.
- 8 ounces tomatillos, husked and cut into quarters
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons green hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, toasted
- 1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh horseradish
- Put the tomatillos in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely pureed. Remove the tomatillo puree to a sieve, drain off the liquid and discard. Put the drained puree in a bowl and stir in the vinegar, sugar, hot sauce, garlic, mustard seeds, and horseradish.

Steps:
- Line a plate with paper towels and set near the cooktop.
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, crab, egg, mayonnaise, lemon zest, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. The mixture will be slightly wet. Form into cakes: use about 1/4 cup for large cakes and 1 tablespoon or so for hors d'oeuvres. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate to chill and set, about 30 minutes.
- Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using an offset spatula, gently slip the chilled cakes, in batches, into the oil. Cook until the crab cakes are golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side for large patties, or 1 to 2 minutes per side for small hors d'oeuvres. Remove from the skillet, and transfer to the prepared plate to drain. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
CLASSIC CRAB CAKES
I searched the site, but even though there are 250+ crab cake recipes, I could not find one like this one. I got this recipe from the Stonewall Kitchen demo kitchen. I have made it once, and it is very simple, easy, and very tasty. Definitely make the mixture ahead and refrigerate - they stay together much better and cook up easier. Prep time includes refrigeration time. They served them with a remoulade sauce, but I served them with Stonewall Kitchen's Mango Habanero Aioli (Recipe #445347) - Yum!
