Recipe of the day - 6/23 - Crab Cakes with Spicy Avocado Sauce
Crab Cakes with Spicy Avocado Sauce
For sauce 1/2 ripe medium California avocado, pitted and peeled 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1 fresh jalapeño or serrano chile (including seeds), stemmed and quartered lengthwise 1/4 cup fat-free (skim) milk For crab cakes 1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over and coarsely shredded 3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise 1/4 cup minced fresh chives 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs) 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 garlic cloves, smashed 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon salt Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Make sauce: Pulse avocado with mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, sugar, and one fourth of chile in a food processor until chile is finely chopped. Add milk and purée until smooth. Add more chile if desired, processing until smooth. Transfer sauce to a bowl and chill, covered. Make crab cakes: Stir together crabmeat, mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice, mustard, pepper, and 1 tablespoon panko in a large bowl until blended well, then chill, covered. Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over moderate heat, then cook garlic, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add herbes de Provence, salt, and remaining 7 tablespoons panko and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer crumbs to a plate to cool. Discard garlic. Divide crabmeat mixture into 4 mounds on a sheet of wax paper. Form 1 mound into a patty, then carefully turn patty in crumb mixture to coat top and bottom. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with remaining 3 mounds, then sprinkle remaining crumbs on top of crab cakes. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve crab cakes with sauce. Makes 4 main-course servings.
