Ingredients

Remoulade Sauce:

Mayonnaise:

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, garlic, rosemary, and paprika. Reduce by half. Allow to cool to room temperature. In a saute pan, heat the peanut oil. Sweat the onions and bell peppers until glossy. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool to room temperature. 
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, crab, jalapeno, basil, parsley, tarragon, 1 cup of ground panko, salt, white pepper, reduced cream, and Sauteed vegetables. Carefully mix until well blended. 
  4. Scale the mixture into 3-ounce portions. Shape into round, slightly flattened cakes, about 3-inch diameter by 1/2-inch thickness. On a baking sheet, combine the remaining 1 cup of ground panko and flour. Coat the crab cakes generously. 
  5. In a saute pan, heat 1/4 cup of clarified butter. Pan fry 6 crab cakes at a time, until golden on 1 side. Turn and transfer to preheated oven and bake for 2 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining butter and crab cakes. Serve with Remoulade Sauce.
