Chart House Crab Stack Recipes

COPYCAT CHART HOUSE'S JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Remove the shells from the crabmeat, being careful not to break up the meat. Place in a stainless steel mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, mix together the egg, mayonnaise, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix in the breadcrumbs. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the crabmeat. Using a rubber spatula, fold this mixture into the crabmeat gently but thoroughly. Be careful not to break up the jumbo lumps. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour. Form the mixture into crab cakes (4 oz. each). Gently shape the cakes, but do not overwork them. Place each one in a parchment-lined sheet pan. (These can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to cook.) To broil, preheat the broiler and adjust the oven rack to the middle shelf. Place the cakes in a buttered, oven-proof dish. Broil on the middle shelf until brown on top. Gently turn the cakes over and continue cooking until brown on top and cooked through.

CRAB AVOCADO MANGO STACK

Steps:

• Mix last 8 ingredients (mayo through Tabasco), & refrigerate.
• Use a dual open ended cylindrical mold to form the stacks. (If you don't have a mold, use an empty clean soup or veggie can with both ends removed.) Place the mold onto the serving plate.
• (use half of the ingredients in each mold).
• Gently push down the avocado slices into the bottom of the mold.
• Mix together the mango, jalapeno, red bell pepper, & red onion, then gently push down on top of the avocado layer.
• Gently toss the crab with the refrigerated mayo mix (remoulade), then gently push down on top of the mango layer.
• Carefully slide the mold off of the stack and chill until ready to serve.
• Serve cold.
