Ingredients
8 oz Cooked Wild-Caught Lump Crabmeat
1 each Pasture-Raised Eggs
12 oz Potatoes
6 oz Asparagus
2 oz Arugula
1 tbsp Capers
1 oz Sliced Roasted Red Peppers
1 bunch Parsley
1 each Lemon
½ cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 ½ tsp Calabrian Chile Paste
1 oz Pitted Castelvetrano Olives
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
½ tbsp Weeknight Hero Spice Blend (Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika & Whole Dried Parsley)
How to make it
1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Rinse and dry all produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Cut the potatoes into a medium dice. Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces. Spread the potatoes on one side; drizzle with olive oil, season, and toss. Roast 12 minutes. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper; add to the other side and roast 10-12 minutes more until everything is browned and fork-tender. Cool slightly.
2
Roughly chop the capers, parsley, peppers, and olives. Halve the lemon(s) and squeeze the juice into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped capers, half the chopped parsley, and as much chile paste as you like; season. Drain the crab over a strainer, press out liquid, then pick for shells.
3
Beat the egg(s) in a large bowl with salt, pepper, and the spice blend until smooth. Add the crab, chopped peppers, breadcrumbs, and remaining parsley; stir. Form into 4 cakes (8 for 4 servings), about 1/2 inch thick.
4
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the crab cakes in batches. Cook 3-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and season immediately with salt.
5
Add a drizzle of olive oil to the bowl of lemon juice; season and whisk. Add the arugula, roasted vegetables, and chopped olives; toss. Taste and season. Serve topped with the crab cakes and spicy caper aioli.
