Low Country Crab Cakes With Dill Sauce Recipes

LOW COUNTRY CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Mix together the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and seafood seasoning in a bowl. Fold in the cracker crumbs and crabmeat until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab too much. Shape the mixture into six 2- to 2 1/2-inch patties, trying to make straight sides and flat bottoms. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add cakes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the crab cakes to a plate or platter and repeat with the remaining crab cakes, adding more oil if needed. Hold in the warm oven until ready to serve. Serve warm with remoulade.
• Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, horseradish, lemon juice and chives in a bowl until combined.

CRAB CAKE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, cottage cheese, salsa, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and yogurt in a blender and puree until smooth. Chill before serving.

CRAB CAKES WITH DILL MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water for about 15 mins, drain, then return to the pan and leave to steam dry for about 5 mins. Mash, then leave to cool.
• In a large bowl mix the crabmeat, capers, spring onions, lemon zest and half the juice with half the dill. Stir in the mashed potato with some seasoning, then shape into 12 neat round patties. Transfer these to a plate and put in the fridge for 20 mins to firm up.
• To make the dill mayonnaise, mix the mayo with the remaining lemon juice and dill. Put this in the fridge for later.
• Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs on 3 separate plates. Dust the crab cakes all over with the flour, then dip into the egg and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
• Add enough sunflower oil to a shallow frying pan to come about 1cm up the side. Heat the oil, then carefully slide the crab cakes in; you might have to do this in batches. Cook for about 3 mins on each side until they are crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper. At this point you can pop the crab cakes into the oven to keep warm - or serve right away with dill mayonnaise and extra lemon wedges.

LORI'S FAMOUS CRAB CAKES

• In a bowl, toss together the 1/3 cup bread crumbs, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, green onions, and parsley.

Form into 6 large cakes. Coat in the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet. Fry the cakes 5 minutes on each side, or until evenly brown. Drain on paper towels.

LOW COUNTRY CRAB CAKES WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Pick the crab meat, removing all shell and hard pieces, but be careful not to break up the crab meat too much. In a bowl mix together the crab meat, minced onion, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, mustard, egg, and mayonnaise. Fold gently in your hand, being careful not to compress the cake too much. It should just hold together. Dust with flour and fry slowly in bacon fat or vegetable oil until golden brown. Top with Food Masters Dill Delight dressing and serve.
