Crab Aioli Recipes

CRAB CAKES WITH AIOLI DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a mini chopper, finely crush the potato chips.
• In a med. size bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Old Bay, white pepper, worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard until creamy.
• Add the crab meat and mix evenly but gently so as not to break up the clumps of crab too much. Clumps of crab are a good thing!
• Gently stir in 1/4 cup crushed potato chips.
• Form the mixture into 4 patties and coat with remaining potato chip crumbs.
• Melt about 2 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat. Add more butter if needed.
• When the butter starts to sizzle, gently place the crab cakes into the pan (they're delicate).
• Sprinkle with a little kosher salt if desired and cook for about 4 minutes.
• Carefully flip the patties, and drizzle with lemon juice from 1/2 of the lemon. Cook for 4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Dipping Sauce: Place all ingredients in mini chopper and push the button. That's it! Make it ahead of time if desired and refrigerate.

CRAB AIOLI

Steps:

• Directions 1. For aioli, place the lemon peel, lemon juice, egg product, hot pepper sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Cover and process or blend until combined. With the processor or blender running, add oil in a thin, steady stream until the mixture is the consistency of mayonnaise. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and chill up to 48 hours. 2. In a chilled large mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the mayonnaise mixture. 3. To serve, divide crabmeat among 50 small glasses, such as shot glasses. Top each with 1 tablespoon of the whipped cream mixture. Top each with caviar. Garnish with chive stems. Makes 50 servings (or 12 for big crab eaters!)
