Preparation:
Pick through crabmeat, removing all shells but being careful not to
break up the large lumps too much.
In a food processor, grind codfish until pureed. Add 1/2 cup of heavy
cream and puree until incorporated. Then add more cream if needed.
The mixture should be smooth and shiny, yet firm enough to hold its
shape.
Place this mousse in a metal bowl and add the other ingredients, except
for the olive oil.
Take a small portion of the crab-cake mixture and saute in hot olive
oil until golden brown. Taste to adjust seasoning.
Form the rest of the crab cakes and saute in hot olive oil until golden
on both sides. Finish by baking in a 450-degree oven for 4 to 5 minutes. |
