Directions:Crab Cakes: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the garlic in 3 T olive oil until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, scallions, celery and peppers and cook until soft, about 5 more minutes. Add the wine and simmer for 1 minute, then remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the crabmeat and mix well. Add the bread crumbs, parmesan, lemon juice, eggs, parsley, mustard, seasoning, salt and pepper, and mix well. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper, divide the crab mixture into 6 patties.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and cook the crab cakes until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve 2 crab cakes per hamburger bun, with tomato slices, lettuce and lemon wedges. Serve Remoulade sauce on the side.
Remoulade Sauce: Combine all ingredients and mix well. Season to taste, with salt and pepper. Best to refrigerate for several hours before serving, to allow flavors to marry. |
