Let's Cooking : Savory Crab Cakes

Another delicious recipe made from crabs. I hope I could cook it because all the ingredients seems not hard to find. Basically, I just want to go to fish market to buy some crabs. Then, go to find some ingredients. well, enjoy this and don't be "ngiler", hehehehehoho....


Ingredients:

* 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
* 2 tablespoons Creole mustard
* 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning
* 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
* 2 teaspoons finely minced red bell pepper, optional
* 1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
* 1 1/4 cup fresh fine bread crumbs, divided

Preparation:

Combine mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, and seasonings; set aside.

Drain crabmeat; gently squeeze to get as much of the liquid out as possible. Put crabmeat in a bowl. With a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in mayonnaise mixture and 1 cup of the bread crumbs, just until blended. Shape into 8 crab cakes, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. I use a biscuit or cookie cutter with an open top to shape the cakes and press the ingredients down to make them hold together. Press gently into reserved crumbs. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.

Heat clarified butter or oil over medium heat. Fry crab cakes for about 5 minutes on each side, carefully turning only once. Serve with lemon wedges and Remoulade or other sauce.

NEW KITCHEN SINKS TODAY

Nowadays, I have a new hobby that related about culinary. I start to learn about cooking and make some food and finally, the special steamed crab was my masterpiece of my cooking skill. Since I like to cooking, I suggest to my parents about renovating my kitchen. I want some additional kitchen tools to support my hobby, including to change the kitchen sinks to the new one, because it was out of order and no one cares about it.

When renovating my kitchen, the kitchen sink also included. I don't know much about this facility, I just know that this used for washing my hands after meal. Since my old sinks has been broken, my father suggest to change it with a sinks with better material. Of course, it must be large, deep and stainless in order to keep its durability. However, I must consider about the budget to renovate my kitchen due to economic crisis nowadays. Constructing a kitchen may consuming a lot of money.

Yep, it's time to cooking again. Now, I want to cook another cuisine instead steamed crab. Next time, I want to invite you to see my new kitchen. If you don't mind, let's cooking with me. Let's see my new sinks, stylish and elegant.
