Amazing Crab Rice Cakes Recipes

BROWN RICE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• For the crab cakes: In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, rice, mayonnaise, scallions, Dijon, tarragon, seafood seasoning, egg and lemon zest and juice. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs and stir them in. You should be able to make a crab cake that just holds together but is still a bit wet. If the mixture is too wet to hold together (and it might be, depending on how wet the crab and cooked rice are), stir in up to 1/4 cup more breadcrumbs.
• Using a small ice-cream scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop out the mixture by heaping tablespoons, then form each into a small cake and place the cakes on a sheet stray. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm them up.
• Heat the canola oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Spread about 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate and lightly dredge the crab cakes in the breadcrumbs. Working in two batches, fry the crab cakes until golden on both sides and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain the first batch on paper towels and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the second batch. Season the crab cakes with salt.
• For the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, tarragon, basil, dill, lemon zest and juice. Season with salt.
• For serving: Serve the crab cakes alongside the aioli or place a dollop of aioli on each. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
• Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
• Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

• In a blender or food processor, combine the gelatin mixture, the egg and egg yolk, mustard, sugar, garlic, and herbs and process until smooth. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow steady stream (just drips at first, adding more rapidly once the mayonnaise begins to thicken) to make a very thick mayonnaise. Stop and add the lemon juice and vinegar once the mixture begins to thicken and then add the remaining oil, stopping just before it has thickened to your liking. It will thicken a bit more once it is chilled.
