How to Make Maryland Crab Cakes With Sun Dried Tomato Aioli
- **Prepare the Vegetables:** Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- **Cool the Vegetables:** Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to cool completely.
- **Make the Crab Cake Mixture:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
- **Combine Ingredients:** Add the cooled vegetables and gently stir to combine. Add 1 pound lump crab meat and 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs; gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- **Shape the Crab Cakes:** Scoop about 1/2 cup of the crab cake mixture for each cake. Shape into patties.
- **Bread (Optional):** If the crab cakes seem too moist, lightly coat with extra breadcrumbs.
- **Chill:** Arrange crab cakes on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- **Cook the Crab Cakes:** Melt 2 tablespoons shortening in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook crab cakes in batches of 3-4, about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
- **Make the Aioli:** In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained), and 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Stir well.
- **Season & Serve:** Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve crab cakes immediately with the sun-dried tomato aioli.
