Chilling time 2 hours or overnight.
Mix together 1 cup bread crumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, onion, celery, bell pepper,
parsley, garlic and seasonings. Stir in crabmeat. Chill mixture for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
Shape crab mixture into 12 small cakes. Evenly coat each cake with remaining
bread crumbs. (You may not need to use all of the breadcrumbs.) Heat oil in a large
skillet over medium heat. Cook cakes until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side.
To Serve Crab Cakes, place a large spoonful of orange Sauce on each plate and
top with 2 crab cakes. Drizzle extra sauce over cakes. Alternately, serve hot crab cakes
with Pineapple Salsa on the side.
ORANGE SAUCE: in a non-reactive pan, heat shallots, wine and reduced orange
juice together until the liquid is further reduced to 2 tablespoons. Gradually whisk in
butter, stirring well after each addition. Remove from heat and stir in yogurt, cream
and Tabasco.
PINEAPPLE SALSA: combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Stir well,
cover and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving. |
