Sponsored Recipe - Crab Cakes With California Avocado & Violette Mustard Creme Fraiche
Recipe
by Chef
Robert Wilson
Cooking with Avocados
The
Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel's Chef Rob Wilson applies French
sensibility to superb local ingredients to create California
Avocado Crab Cakes with Violet Mustard Crème Fraiche. California
Avocados are a natural source of monounsaturated fat, so substitute
an equal amount of pureed avocado for the mayonnaise to bind
the mixture and add a healthful twist.
Method
Method Mix crab and next 8 ingredients. Shape into 36 cakes,
3 ounces each; reserve.
Per Order
Saute 3 crab cakes in hot oil, turning once, until lightly browned
on both sides and hot. Serve with 2-1/2 tablespoons Violette
Creme Fraiche. Garnish with dots of chile oil, chive, and avocado.
Violette Creme Fraiche
Whisk together 1 cup creme fraiche, 3/4 cup Moutarde Violette*,
3/4 cup apple juice, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Yield: 2-1/2 cups.
*Moutarde Violette is a French whole-grain mustard flavored
with grape must.
