Crab cakes with rémoulade sauce

Yummy and gummable. Chop everything finely so there is no worry about chewing!

Garlic scape rémoulade

Ingredients:

6 garlic scapes
1 anchovy
2 tbs capers (drained)
2 tsp fresh parsley
2 tsp fresh tarragon
grated zest of a lemon
1½ cups mayonnaise

Instructions:

Chop the first 5 ingredients all together (I used a mezzaluna on a wooden chopping board for this).

Combine with lemon zest and add to mayonnaise. 

Stir well. Best made a few days ahead so the flavours have time to come together.

Crab cakes

Ingredients:

2 cups crab meat
¼ cup milk
2 tbs chopped fresh parsley
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs (I needed more, as they were too wet)
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
butter for frying

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients, except the butter. Allow to sit for a minute so the crumbs can absorb some of the liquid. 

Shape into patties—the recipe recommended 4 or 6, but I made 8 smaller ones—and place on a tray lightly dusted with breadcrumbs so they're easier to handle. 

Fry in butter, 3-5 minutes each side, until nicely golden.
