Dungeness Crab Cakes

Recipe By :a Chef's Journey recipe for the 2006 Windsor Fund Raiser
Makes approx. 24 cakes, depending on size made

1 lbs crab meat -- preferably Dungeness
1/2 pound butter -- unsalted
chopped parsley
chopped chives
2 hard-cooked egg -- finely chopped
salt, black pepper
1 c panko
1 c flour
2 eggs, beaten with a little water
1 1/2 c more panko (for breading)*
Peanut or canola oil, as needed for frying

Put the crabmeat in a large bowl and add the butter, parsley, chives, eggs, salt & pepper.

Mix together till combined. Add just enough panko make a coherent mixture.

Divide the mixture into patties - for regular service make into 2 3/4" wide by 1/2" thick.
Chill the patties covered for 30 min

When ready to fry cakes: have three shallow containers ready
one - flour
one - egg wash
one - panko

Dredge the patties on all sides in the flour, then dip in egg wash, drop in panko and coat evenly. Shake off excess.

Fill pot with at least 2" of oil and heat to 350 F.
Add as many cakes as will comfortably fit and fry, turning a few times with a slotted spoon, till golden brown on all sides and hot thru, about 6 min. cooking time.

Remove cakes and continue with the rest. Drain cooked cakes on paper towels an keep warm till service.

*I mixed 1/2 panko and 1/2 chopped, roasted pecans for the breading

"replace blackberry jam for huckleberry"

I'm not Jean but I'm sure you could. I used blueberry because I can't get the huckleberry. It turned out great.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

I'm sorry Roxanne, I didn't see your questions -

??? could I replace blackberry jam for huckleberry???

Yes, the ketchup will be a little sweeter, but any berry will work fine, I'm sure.


"??? did you chill the crabcakes after forming and before frying?? "

Yes, form the cakes, cover and chill for 30 min. to an hour. Then coat and cook.
