THE BEST CRAB CAKES
When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
- Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
- Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
- Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
CRISP CRAB CAKES
Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and bell pepper and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Mix 1/2 cup panko, the egg and milk in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay and hot sauce; fold in the crabmeat, panko mixture, scallionbell pepper mixture, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Shape into 8 patties and refrigerate 30 minutes. Coat the crab cakes with the remaining 1/2 cup panko. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Mist the crab cakes with cooking spray and cook, sprayed-side down, 3 to 4 minutes. Spray the tops, flip and cook 3 to 4 more minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat grill for cooking with two zones: one for direct grilling over high heat, and one for indirect grilling.
- Scrub the outside of the pumpkin clean.
- Cut the pumpkin in half and remove and discard the seeds and pulp.
- Cut the pumpkin into roughly 2″ squares.
- Grill the pumpkin pieces over direct heat with the skin side down and the hood closed for approximately until the skin side is completely black, and the sides of the flesh are beginning to char (between 5 and 10 minutes).
- Remove from the grill and let cool.
- Use a knife to remove and discard the thin layer of burnt skin and then cut the roasted pumpkin pieces into a 1/4″ to 1/2″ dice.
- Cut the poblanos in half lengthwise.
- Discard the veins, seeds and stem.
- Roast the poblanos, skin-side down with the hood closed, over direct heat for 1 or 2 minutes until the skins are black.
- Remove from grill and let cool, wrapped in paper towels. When cool, use a knife to scrape off the burnt skin. Discard the skin and finely chop the peppers.
- Drain the crab meat if necessary and place in a large mixing bowl. Pick over the crab to remove any pieces of shell.
- Add the poblanos, red pepper, ginger, lemon grass, garlic, scallions, lime zest, egg yolks, melted butter, and mayonnaise (and optional Galangal).
- Mix together with a spoon.
- Add the bread crumbs and stir until well mixed.
- Add 2/3 cup panko and stir only to slightly mix. Gently stir in 2 cups of the roasted pumpkin without crushing the pieces.
- If the mixture is too dry for forming crab cakes, stir in a little more mayonnaise. If it is too moist, stir in more regular bread crumbs.
- Fill a plate with some of the remaining panko.
- Form one round ball of crab mixture at a time and compress with your hands to make firm. Roll each ball in the panko to thoroughly coat, and then flatten into a crab cake about 1″ thick.
- Use your fingers to make sure the edges of each cake are well compressed and firm.
- To make the sauce, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, chopped chipotle and adobo in a bowl and whisk together.
- Grill the crab cakes over direct heat for about 30 seconds per side to brown. Move to the indirect cooking zone and continue cooking with the hood down for about 12 minutes at 500 degrees (use longer indirect cooking times if you grill cannot achieve high-temperature indirect grilling).
- Remove the crab cakes from the grill and drizzle with the chipotle mayonnaise sauce.
- Serve with more sauce on the side and accompany with lime wedges.

GRILLED BEEF FILET WITH CRAB CAKES AND CARAMELIZED ONION SAUCE
This is a lovely combination of crab and beef filet. The flavors blend together well and was a real treat tonight. You can certainly use fresh crab, but all I had was the canned, but it turned out well anyway, IMHO. Hope you will give it a try.

GRILLED PUMPKIN WITH ROSEMARY AND SEA SALT
During grilling, the sugars in the pumpkin caramelize. Per chef Duke: The combination of sweet and salty, coupled with crisp rosemary, will give you a different way of thinking about pumpkin. I'm estimating amounts; just season to taste. Based on recipe published on MotherEarthNews.com by Deanna Duke.

Steps:
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Cut the pumpkins vertically into 3/4 inch slices. Remove the seeds and stringy parts. Brush both sides of each slice liberally with olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary.
- Place the slices on the grill for about 5 minutes a side or until dark grill marks appear. Turn and grill the other side until you can easily pierce the pumpkin slice with a fork. Make sure that the pumpkin is tender.
- Since some of the salt tends to fall off during the grilling process, serve with a small dish of additional sea salt.
