Kosher Crab Cakes Food

THE BEST CRAB CAKES

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.

KOSHER CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Combine chopped crabstick, celery, dill, zest of 1 lemon, plus juice of ½ the lemon, mayonnaise and ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs into a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste to check seasoning and adjust if necessary. Spoon 8 portions (about ¼ cup each) onto tray lined with foil or parchment paper. With wet hands, form the scoops into hockey puck-like disks. Refrigerate for about 1 hour until the cakes firm up a bit. Through the process they may fall apart, you can reassemble them as you proceed. Place flour, eggs, and remainder of panko in 3 separate plates for dredging. Dredge in flour, egg and then panko, patting panko into cakes at the end. Set aside on tray again. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up. Heat a pan over medium-high heat with enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Sautee the cakes in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add additional oil to pan if necessary as you finish the remaining crab cakes. Crab cakes may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Serve at room temperature, with lemon wedges, dill sprigs and Roasted Red Pepper Aioli in serving bowl on the side.
