CRAB CAKES-CREOLE STYLE
In Louisiana, most dishes include plenty of fresh garlic, dry mustard, and cayenne pepper for Creole flavor. Heavy cream adds richness (because no Louisiana dish isn't rich). You need to start with a large dose of good quality lump crabmeat and keep the binder to a minimum. Saltines add more flavor than other binders and won't make the crab cakes pasty. This recipe was adapted from Cook's Country Magazine.

Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate and refrigerate 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add remaining ingredients except for the crabmeat, other portion of saltines, and oil. Add the cooled vegetables then gently fold in crabmeat, being careful not to break up large pieces of crab.
- Divide into 12 portions and shape each into 1¼-inch-thick cake and about the shape of your palms. Transfer to plate, cover, and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
- Heat remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge crab cakes in remaining cracker crumbs and press to adhere crumbs to cakes (coat with crumbs at a time, and cook about 3 per batch in the oil). Gently and carefully place the cakes into the hot oil. Cook until well browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side (turn cakes gently using two spatulas so as they won't break apart).
- Transfer to plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining cakes, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
EMERIL'S CRAB CAKES

The mixture will be thick after all the oil is incorporated. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce, process the mixture to incorporate. Season the mayonnaise with salt and pepper.
- Fold the cooled sauteed vegetables into the crab mixture. Fold 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise and 3/4 cup of the bread crumbs into the crab mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly. In a shallow bowl, season the flour with 1 teaspoon of the Creole seasoning and the white pepper. In another bowl, whisk the remaining egg with the water. Finally in 1 bowl, combine the remaining bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning together. Portion the filling into 1/3 cup balls. Form the balls into patties, about 1-inch thick. Pour the remaining 2 1/2 cups oil into a saute pan and heat to 360 degrees F, about 2 minutes. Dredge the cakes in the seasoned flour. Dip the cakes in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the cakes in the seasoned bread crumbs, covering the cakes completely. Gently lay the cakes in the oil and fry for 4 minutes on each side. Remove the cakes from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the cakes with the remaining Creole seasoning. Serve with Maw-Maw's Slaw and Creole Tartar Sauce.
- Place the white cabbage, red cabbage, greens, red onions, green onions, and parsley in a large salad bowl. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and sugar. Mix well. Add the mixture to the greens and toss to mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Serve chilled. The slaw can be made (or chilled) 3 hours ahead.
- Put the egg, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and green onions in a food processor and puree for 15 seconds. With the processor running, pour the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream. Add the cayenne, mustard, and salt and pulse once or twice to blend. Cover and let sit for 1 hour in the refrigerator before using. Best if used within 24 hours.

- For the crab cakes: To a large bowl, add the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning, egg, lemon zest and juice and chives. Mix thoroughly to combine. Add the saltine cracker crumbs. Add the crabmeat. Gently fold the crab into the mixture, being careful not to break up the meat too much.
- Form the mixture into four equal-sized crab cakes. Preheat a large saute pan over medium-high heat with some canola oil until it shimmers. Gently place the crab cakes into the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- For the salad: Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Place the corn and onions onto the grill pan and grill until charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip, then cook until charred and the onions are softened, another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the corn kernels from the cobs and dice the grilled onions. Set aside.
- Place the red bell pepper onto an open flame on your stovetop. Cook, flipping occasionally, until completely black and charred, about 5 minutes. (If you don't have a gas stovetop, you can broil the pepper in the oven on high, turning occasionally, until charred.) Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam until the skin pulls away, about 10 minutes. Remove the skin from the bell pepper and rinse under water to ensure all of the black char is removed. Remove the stem, ribs and seeds from the roasted pepper and dice.
- To a large bowl, add the corn kernels, onions, roasted peppers, cilantro, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes and kosher salt to taste. Toss to combine. In a separate bowl, add the arugula, lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and kosher salt to taste. Toss to combine.
- For the aioli: To a bowl, add the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, cornichons, cornichon juice, shallots and kosher salt to taste. Mix to combine.
- To serve, place the arugula onto each plate and nestle some of the corn, red onion and red pepper salad next to it. Top with a crab cake and drizzle some of the aioli around the crab cake. Enjoy!
LOUISIANA DEVILED CRAB CAKES
From a magazine that says this about the recipe: "These crab cakes are flavored with the "holy trinity" of Cajun cooking: onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Serve them with a hepling of coleslaw or a green salad." This makes a nice light main course, lunch or appetizer.

CRAB CAKES WITH CRYSTAL BEURRE BLANC
This recipe came to The Times in 2006 from the Upperline restaurant in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. One bright light after the storms was an unexpected windfall in crab. The storms stirred up the marshes and shook up lots of food, so these crab cakes are made with an ice cream scoop and not a spoon. The real gem of the dish is the Crystal beurre blanc, an idea that mixes high French culinary canon with down-and-dirty New Orleans heat. Crystal Hot Sauce has long adorned many a table in New Orleans. It is more vinegary than Tabasco, which is too hot for this recipe. Baumer Foods had been making Crystal Hot Sauce for more than eight decades when the storms hit. Its New Orleans plant was flooded so badly that it was not reopened, but other bottlers kept Crystal on the shelves until the company could move into its new home, about a half hour's drive from its damaged factory.

CREOLE CRAB CAKES
We've an abundance of crabs in coastal Louisiana. I know no one who has ever turned one of these down. Chill time not included. NOTE: For all the years that I've made these crab cakes, just recently I've used cracker crumbs in place of the breadcrumbs in the recipe and for the exterior coating and think that I might perfer that even more so.

CREOLE CRAB CAKES WITH CAYENNE CREAM
Steps:
- For the crab cakes 1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or skillet over medium high heat. Cook the onion, pepper and celery until tender or about 5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. 2. In a food processor add the egg, Creole mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Crystal's and 1 tablespoon of the Angel Dust. Pulse a few times to mix then while running the processor on low, slowly and in a tiny stream pour the oil in to make a semi thicken mayonnaise. 3. Now in a large bowl mix the veggie mixture, the mayonnaise you just made, Ritz crumbs and the remaining tablespoon of Angel Dust. Next, fold in the crab meat. 4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Form the crab mixture into small patties and fry until browned on each side, about 4 - 6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. These are a little tricky to fry as sometimes they want to break apart so only turn them once and handle them gently. For the cayenne cream Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium to medium high heat. Add the shallot and cook for a couple of minutes to soften. Then add the garlic and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes. Always be careful to not brown garlic, you want it soft but never browned as it will impart a bitter taste to the dish. Add the hot sauce and raise the heat a bit and cook until the hot sauce is reduced by 1/2. Finally add the cream and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook until the mixture is reduced by 1/2. Serves 8 as appetizers and 4 as main entree
