METHOD
Crab cakes
1. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the crab meat, sautéed shallots and chopped garlic. Add the lime juice, chopped tarragon and seasoning. Mix well.
2. Make a patty of your crab mix, coat in flour and then dip in your whisked eggs. Finally cover in your breadcrumbs.
3. Keep your crab cakes in the fridge until required, this helps to hold a firm shape before frying
Tip: why not make your crab cakes ahead of your lunch get-together and have them ready in the fridge so you only need to fry when your guests arrive
4. In a frying pan, heat the oil to a high heat. Start to brown each cake for a minute on both sides and then cook until hot for around 4-5 minutes.
Sweet Chilli Sauce
Add chopped red chilli, chilli flakes and honey together in sauce pan with tomato juice and then reduce until it gets thick like a jam consistency.
Wild Rocket and Parmesan Salad
Combine your rocket, finely grated Parmesan and chopped cherry tomatoes into a bowl and mix with a little olive oil and balsamic. Be sure to season with salt and pepper to your taste.
