Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Dungeness crabmeat, cooked
  • 5 ounces fresh sourdough bread crumbs
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tablespoon sambal
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bunch arugula, washed and trimmed
  • Brown Butter-Tomao Vinaigrette, recipe follows

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat with the bread crumbs. Add the egg white, mayonnaise, sambal, chives, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the ingredients gently but thoroughly, taking care not to mash the crabmeat. Shape the mixture into 4 uniform patties; they should be moist and just hold together.

Coat a skillet with vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Fry the crab cakes until browned, about 4 minutes each side. Serve immediately on a bed of arugula with Brown Butter-Tomato Vinaigrette.

Brown Butter-Tomato Vinaigrette:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon sherry
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. When foam subsides, add the shallot and bay leaves. Cook for 1 minute to soften the shallots. Add the remaining butter and continue to cook until the butter begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, orange juice, chives, and sherry. Cook for 2 more minutes just to break down the tomatoes. Whisk in the olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and serve warm with Crab Cakes.

    You can find Sambal in the Ethnic part of your grocery store in the asian section. There was like 2 teenie tiny bottles in my section so you have to look a little bit

    The crab cakes are light, sweet and savory with just a subtle hint of spice. Great textures all in one bite. The best ever!
