Preparation

Step 1

In a small saute pan over medium heat, add oil and cook onion and celery; until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool. Add 1 cup of the bread crumbs, herbs, mustard, salt, Worcestershire, Tabasco, crabmeat, and pepper and thoroughly mix.

Form the mixture into patties about ½-inch thick and 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Spread remaining cup of bread crumbs on a plate. Turn each crab cake in crumbs to lightly coat. Set coated cakes on a wire rack and let them dry for 15 to 20 minutes.

In a large saute pan over medium high heat, heat 1/4 inch of oil. Add crab cakes, keeping them well separated, and fry until browned and crisp, about 4 minutes a side. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate. Serve on a bed of greens and top with Roasted Pepper and Garlic Aioli.

Roasted Pepper and Garlic Aioli:

Yield: About 1 1/2 cups of sauce

Heat a cast iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Place pepper on it and lightly press (or place under broiler—keep an eye on it). Roast pepper, turning and pressing, until all sides are and blackened. Place unpeeled garlic cloves on pan and roast, without pressing, until they are browned on all sides. Remove garlic and set aside.

Place pepper in a small bowl, and cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle. Remove blackened outer skin of the pepper, remove veins and seeds. Peel garlic.

In the bowl of a food processor, puree pepper and garlic. Add mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, salt and pepper; pulse to combine.
