CRAB BURGERS WITH TIGER SLAW

Steps:

• For the lemongrass paste: Process the ginger, garlic, lime leaves, shallots and lemongrass in a processor.
• For the vinaigrette: Place the vinegar, oil, 2 tablespoons of the lemongrass paste, the mustard, chili sauce pepper and lime leaves in blender and puree until emulsified.
• For the slaw: Mix the cabbages, carrots, daikon, apples and mango together. Toss with the vinaigrette.
• For the crab burgers: Drain the crab. Place in a large bowl. Add the rice and panko and fold in. Mix the chili sauce, mayonnaise, sambal, egg and 1 cup of the lemongrass paste. Add to the crab. Add the green onions and, folding gently, completely combine. Form into 24 patties. Dredge them in additional panko.
• Place the crab burgers in a fryer set at 350 degrees F and cook, in batches, until golden and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Toast the buns. Place a crab burger on each heel (bottom bun) and top with chili sauce. Top with the slaw and cover with the crown (top bun).

CELERY ROOT SLAW

Steps:

• Coarsely grate 1 pound peeled celery root. Toss with 1 tablespoon salt and 2 tablespoons warm water in a colander; let sit 20 minutes. Rinse and drain. Whisk the juice of 1 lemon and 1/4 cup each dijon mustard and sour cream in a bowl, then whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the celery root, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Chill. Add 1/4 cup chopped parsley before serving.

CELERY ROOT REMOULADE

Steps:

• First make a mayonnaise as the base for the remoulade. In a food processor or blender, mix the egg yolk, lemon juice, and mustard, together until smooth. With the food processor or blender running, add the oil in a very thin stream, until the oil is incorporated into the egg and the mayonnaise is thick.
• Mix in the pickle relish, capers, and parsley, and season with salt, and pepper, to taste.
• Peel and grate the celery root. In order to keep the grated celery root from browning, immediately stir it into the remoulade until incorporated. Cover the sauce with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

CELERY ROOT REMOULADE

Steps:

• Use a serrated knife to peel the celery root of all the brown outer portions, like peeling a pineapple. Cut the celery root into thin matchsticks with a mandoline, or grate them in a food processor fitted with the coarsest grating blade. With the food processor, press a little as you feed the chunks through and you will have larger shreds. Place the celery root in a large bowl, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and allow to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the 2 mustards, the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice, the vinegar, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Add enough sauce to lightly moisten the salad. (You may have some sauce left over.) Serve cold or at room temperature.

CRAB BURGERS WITH CELERY ROOT REMOULADE SLAW

Steps:

• To make the crab burgers:
• In a large bowl, whisk mayonnaise, egg, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, hot sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste. Fold in the crabmeat and 1 cup of the bread crumbs until just combined. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties. Put the patties on the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
• Meanwhile make the slaw: In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, Dijon, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne, parsley and salt and pepper, taste. Using the grater attachment on the food processor or a box grater, grate the celery root. Work quickly so that the root doesn't turn brown. Transfer to a medium bowl, add pour the dressing over the celery root. Toss to combine and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving.
• Remove the crab patties from the refrigerator. Place the remaining bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Dredge the patties in the bread crumbs and pat along the edges.
• Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking. Place the patties into the oil and cook about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain. Season the patties with salt while they are still warm. Place on baking sheet to hold in a preheated 250 degree oven while you toast the buns.
• Slice the kaiser rolls in half, butter, put on a sheet pan and toast under the broiler.
• To assemble the burgers, place a patty on the bottom half of each bun and top with the Celery Root Slaw, a piece of lettuce and a tomato slice. Cover with the other half of the bun and serve with Rajun' Cajun Onion Rings.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, the milk and the hot sauce. Add the onion rings and set aside while you season the flour. In a large baking dish or pie plate, combine the celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, paprika, chili powder, white pepper, salt and the flour.
• Heat about 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven.
• Remove the onion rings from the liquid mixture and dredge in the flour mixture. Repeat the process to double coat the rings. Place the onion rings into the oil in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain the onion rings on a paper towel lined plate and season with salt while still hot, then transfer to a serving platter.
