Directions

  1. Heat butter in a small saute/fry pan over medium heat. Add in onions, celery and bell peppers. Season with salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring, till the vegetables are soft and slightly golden brown, about 5 min. Add in the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 min. Cold for 5 min.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, green onions, Parmesan, parsley, mustard and lemon juice. Mix the mayonnaise, Worcestershire Sauce and warm pepper sauce together. Combine vegetable mix with crab mix. Mix in the mayonnaise mix and 3/4 c. of the bread crumbs. Divide combined mix into 10 equal portions and form into 1-inch thick round patties.
  3. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and season with Bayou Blast. In another bowl, whisk the egg with the water. In a third bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 c. bread crumbs with the Creole seasoning. Dredge the crab cakes first in seasoned flour, tapping off excess, then in egg wash, letting excess drip off. Lastly, dredge cakes into seasoned bread crumbs, coating cakes proportionately.
  4. In a large saute/fry pan, heat oil. Gently lay the cakes, 3 to 4 at a time, and pan fry till lightly golden brown, about 4 min on each side. Drain cakes on paper towels and season with Creole seasoning while still warm.
  5. To serve, place Creole Meuniere Sauce in the center of each plate. Spoon the Roasted Vegetable Pecan Relish in the center of the sauce and lay a cake on top of the relish. Garnish with green onions and Bayou Blast.
  6. This recipe yields 10 cakes.
