Southern-style Crab Cakes
  1. Place the crab meat in a large mixing bowl and carefully pick through for shells, then set aside.

  2. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Add the onion, poblano, garlic, salt, chili powder, black pepper, and cayenne and cook, stirring, until the veggies are soft - about 4 minutes.

  4. Transfer the veggie mixture to a mixing bowl and set aside to cool for about 15 minutes.

  5. In a large bowl, gently mix together the crab, cooled vegetable mixture, egg, mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, scallions, parsley, lemon juice, and ⅓ cup of the breadcrumbs.

  6. Using a 1-cup measuring cup, form the mixture into cakes, packing gently; they should resemble hockey pucks (in size) - about 2 inches thick.

  7. Cover the cakes and chill for 30 minutes, or overnight (covered with plastic wrap).

  8. When you are ready to cook the crab cakes, place the remaining breadcrumbs on a plate.

  9. Dredge both sides of each cake in the crumbs, shaking off the excess.

  10. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  11. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, fry the crab cakes for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

  12. Don't overcrowd the pan - fry in batches if necessary, adding more oil if needed.

  13. Serve immediately - with Jalapeno Remoulade!

  14. Whisk together all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

  15. Cover and place in the fridge until needed...or for at least 30 minutes.
