INSTRUCTIONS
Note: See the "Bayou Blast - {Emeril's Creole Seasoning}", "Creole
Meuniere Sauce I", and "Roasted Vegetable Pecan Relish" recipes which
are included in this collection. Melt butter in a small saute pan over
medium heat. Add onions, celery and bell peppers. Season with salt and
cayenne. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft and slightly
golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2
minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the
crabmeat, green onions, Parmesan, parsley, mustard and lemon juice.
Mix the mayonnaise, Worcestershire Sauce and hot pepper sauce
together. Combine vegetable mixture with crab mixture. Fold in the
mayonnaise mixture and 3/4 cup of the bread crumbs. Divide combined
mixture into 10 equal portions and form into 1-inch thick round
patties. 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 cup 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 evenly. In a large saute pan,
heat oil. Gently lay the cakes, 3 to 4 at a time, and pan fry until
lightly golden, about 4 minutes on each side. Drain cakes on paper
towels and season with Creole seasoning while still hot. 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.
