Directions:Toss together the first 11 ingredients. Taste and adjust
seasonings if necessary. Form mixture into eight equally
portioned patties, being sure not to press too firmly. Dip
patties in egg water mixture, then in remaining breadcrumbs.
Let stand a few minutes.
Heat clarified butter almost to smoking point. Add crab cakes,
being sure not to crowd saute pan. Cook over medium-high
heat until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, turn and cook
until just done. Remove to serving plates and pour Beurre
Blanc around. Garnish with plenty of lemon wedges.
Beurre Blanc:
Combine wine, vinegar, and shallots. Simmer to reduce to a
syrupy glaze. Remove saucepan from heat, and stir in
cream. Return to low heat to reduce volume slightly. Begin
adding butter, bit by bit, stirring constantly. When all butter is
incorporated, add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and
strain. Hold at warm room temperature until needed. |
