In Dudley Newbery’s new S4C series, Dudley ar Daith, the popular chef will be sharing plenty of tips on how to cook the perfect dinner. This recipe for Spicy Crab Cakes is Dudley’s suggestion for a great starter for a September dinner party.
Spicy Crab Cakes
Here’s a perfect, yet simple, recipe to impress your dinner party guests. It makes use of seasonal produce, and is just right for September.
You can prepare the crab cakes before hand and keep them in the fridge. A few minutes in the pan on the night, and they’ll be ready.
They make a speedy first course, while a larger portion makes a tasty main. You don’t have to go to too much trouble either – serve the cakes on a plate with a little rocket, a spoonful of mayonnaise and a garnish of fresh lemon. Perfect!
Ingredients (enough to serve four as a starter)
Method
Place the biscuits in a plastic bag. Crush the biscuits into small pieces, using a rolling pin.
Mix the white crab meat in a bowl with the herbs, black pepper and crushed biscuits.
In a clean bowl, mix the eggs, mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, and Cayenne pepper.
Add the sauce to the crab meat and mix well. Be careful not to use the sauce all at once in case the mixture is too wet. You may not need all the sauce.
Divide the mixture into eight sections and shape into small balls. Then press each ball into a flat round shape.
Put the cakes aside before cooking to allow the biscuits to absorb any excess moisture in the crab cakes.
Heat the butter in a frying pan and cook the crab cakes until they are golden brown on both sides
Serve with fresh rocket, mayonnaise and fresh lemon.
