Pan Fried Hatch Chile Crab Cakes Recipe 455

Steps:

• Using a rubber spatula, gently mix first seven ingredients in a medium bowl, being careful not to break up lumps of crab. In a separate bowl, whisk egg and fold into the crab mixture. Add bread crumbs, folding gently. Make six balls (you may need more bread crumbs to hold wet mixture together). Place balls in a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. Just before cooking, remove cakes from refrigerator. Place panko in a hallow dish and dredge each cake in the flaked crumbs, pressing slightly on each ball to create a cake. You may need to pack the panko on the cakes to adhere. Gently shake off excess. Heat oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Gently place cakes in skillet and pan-fry until outsides are crisped and brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain cakes on a paper towel and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix 1/3 cup panko, egg, parsley, mayonnaise, seafood seasoning, and mustard together in a medium bowl. Gently fold in crabmeat. Form into 4 patties and coat with remaining panko.
• Heat coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties until crispy, flipping once, about 12 minutes total.
• While patties cook, prepare the sauce: Combine mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth.
• Serve crab cakes with sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Mix crushed crackers, bell pepper, green onions, egg, mayonnaise, and Dijon together in a large bowl. Gently fold in crabmeat, seafood seasoning, and black pepper using a wooden spoon or spatula. Form crabmeat mixture into 1/2-inch-thick patties, 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
• Put bread crumbs on a plate. Coat patties with bread crumbs.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties in batches and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed.
