Vegetales y crab cakes

Fresh Home Made Crab Cakes garnished with a lot of fresh vegetables and served with grilled vegetables.

Here is what went into making the crab cakes:

- Fresh Crab meat
-  celery
-Onions
- garlic
- chives
- green bell pepper
- red sweet pepper
- dill
- Old Bay Spice
- Black Pepper & Salt
- Bread Crumbs (fresh made or use some Italian Bread Crumbs)
- eggs
- mayonnaise

For most cooks, you look at the Crab Cakes and think it is not worth adding that many items and dressing the cake patties so much.  You do not loose the flavor of the Crab Meat.  Actually, you appreciate it more!  Basically you add these ingredients based on how much you want.

Now the Secret to serving these is the sauce.  Back a few years while eating out, I had sampled a lot of various sauces and none made such an impact to my taste buds as the one I decided to make.

I took basic ideas and samples and refined what I thought would be the best compliment.  I am guessing if you read the ingredients you will think it is disgusting.  Wait for it.  Test it.  And sample away!

The Sauce:
- Mayonnaise
- Pickle Juice
- Pickles
- Onion
- dill weed
- Ketchup
- Mustard

These can be processed in a small blender or food processor.  exact measurements I can discuss later.

When serving Crab cakes, you want to have a party of vegetables in your mouth and enjoy the textures and flavors.  I used Broccoli, new potatoes, peppers, asparagus, zucchinis and squash roasted on the grill.

YUM!
