Doc’s Crab Cakes with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Ingredients

Crab Cakes

  • 16 oz. lump crab meat
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup low fat mayonnaise
  • ½ cup CarbquikTM (available in our office pantry, see below for more information)
  • 4 scallions, whites only, chopped
  • 2 T fresh herbs: Doc used dill, mint, chives, 1 leaf sage, thai basil, chopped together finely
  • ½ t Old Bay seasoning (If you don’t use the fresh herbs, increase this to 1 Tablespoon)
  • 1 t hot sauce
  • Salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

  • 6 red bell peppers
  • 2 T extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 T chopped fresh herbs, as above
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, roasted with peppers
  • Salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste

Directions

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

  1. Cut off the tops of peppers and remove seeds.
  2. Roast in a 425 degree oven until browned. Roast the garlic cloves with the peppers.
    Remove skins and discard.
  3. In a blender, combine roasted peppers, roasted garlic, olive oil and chopped fresh herbs.
  4. Blend until almost smooth – leave a bit chunky.
  5. Place in a bowl and add salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.

Crab Cakes

  1. Place crab meat in a bowl and squeeze on the juice of 1 lemon.
  2. Add 2 T fresh herbs and Old Bay seasoning.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and mayonnaise, add to crab meat.
  4. Mix in CarbquikTM, scallions, hot sauce, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
  5. Form into patties – 1 pound of crab meat will make 4 large crab cakes.

There are two ways you can cook your crab cakes:

  • Sauté method: Cook in a lightly oiled sauté pan over medium-low heat, 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until browned.
  • Baking method: Bake cakes at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, and then broil for 2 minutes.

Serve the crab cakes with a squeeze of lemon juice over them and with the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce on the side.

ENJOY!
