Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Crab Cakes
1 tsp finely chopped capers
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Creole mustard
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp prepared horseradish
1 tbsp minced green bell pepper
1 tbsp minced yellow bell pepper
1 tbsp minced red onion
1 tbsp panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs, available in the specialty department of most grocery stores)
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp creole seasoning
1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, cleaned
Put capers, mayonnaise, Creole mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and horseradish in a medium mixing bowl and combine thoroughly. Add the other ingredients (except crabmeat) to the bowl and mix well. Gently fold in crabmeat, being careful not to break up the lumps.
Chardonnay Cream Sauce
1 tsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1 bay leaf
2 cups dry Chardonnay
1/2 lb dressed crabmeat, mashed with a spoon
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tbsp sour cream
Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. When foam subsides, add onion and bay leaf, then cook, stirring continuously, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add wine and crabmeat and reduce volume by half. Add heavy cream and reduce by half again. Allow about an hour for the two reductions. Consistency should be that of a typical sauce, neither thick nor thin. Add salt and pepper. Strain sauce through a sieve, then stir in sour cream. Transfer to a blender and pulse 2 or 3 times, to give it a bit of froth. (Note: Recipe makes a generous amount.)
Assembly and Cooking
2 tbsp grape-seed oil (canola may be substituted)
Panko bread crumbs (for dusting crab cakes)
1 tbsp or more minced green bell pepper (for garnish)
1 tbsp or more minced yellow bell pepper (for garnish)
3 small sprigs cilantro (for garnish)
Preheat oven to 450. Divide crab mixture into 3 equal portions and firmly but carefully pack into 3 stainless steel ring molds. The molds should be 3 inches in diameter by 1 1/2 inches tall; the mixture should completely fill them. Dust both ends of the crab cakes well with bread crumbs.
Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet. When oil is hot, lift each crab-filled mold with a spatula and place in skillet. Let brown on first side for 2 minutes, then turn molds over and place skillet in oven for 6 to 8 minutes.
To serve, ladle a thin layer of Chardonnay cream sauce evenly onto 3 plates. Put a ring mold on top of the sauce on each plate and carefully remove mold. Garnish plates with chopped bell peppers and put a sprig of cilantro on top of each crab cake. Serves 3.
