Ingredients
Cooking Directions
In a mixing bowl add the crab meat, mayo, green onion, Old Bay and some panko bread crumbs.
Mix lightly and form in a ring mold. If you don't have one, use an ice-cream scoop or a mayonnaise jar cap. Use plenty of crumbs to form the cake. This will form a crust.
Brown in a nonstick pan and finish in a 350 degree oven for 7 minutes. Sprinkle of panko bread crumbs to slight remove moisture.
Celery root rémoulade
Peel the celery root. Thinly slice with a sharp knife on a cutting board. Then lay the slices in a stack and cut fine strips and put into a bowl, and add the mayo, sour cream, vinegar, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Chipotle mayonnaise
In a food processor blend the chipotle pepper; puree till fine. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, shallot and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Blend again to complete the mixture.
Plating
Make a design on a dinner plate with the chipotle mayo, place the crab cakes on the plate and top with celery root rémoulade (you can fry some parsley in a little hot oil. Make sure the parsley is dry or the oil will splatter) and place the fried parsley on top of the rémoulade and serve.
