Comment préparer Angel Asiago Crab Cakes
- Bring a large pot of salted water (2 teaspoons salt) to a boil. Add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta and cook until al dente.
- Drain the pasta, reserving the starchy pasta water. Do not rinse.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter or oil. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and 2 finely chopped shallots. Reduce heat to low and cook until softened and lightly golden, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Remove the garlic and shallot mixture from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
- Add the drained pasta to the bowl and gently toss with your hands until well coated.
- Chop the pasta into smaller, bite-sized pieces (approximately thirds).
- Add 1 cup grated Asiago cheese, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color), 1 pound lump crab meat, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl. Gently toss to combine.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large, shallow skillet over medium-high heat.
- Form the mixture into small patties (slightly larger than finger food, or three-bite size).
- Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Fry for approximately 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the cooked crab cakes on paper towels.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a mixed green salad and balsamic roasted red pepper dip.
- **For the Balsamic Roasted Red Pepper Dip:** Roast 2 red bell peppers until charred. Peel, seed, and blend with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt, and optionally, 1 tablespoon of light olive oil until smooth.
