Ingredients | Crab Cab Food Truck

2 tablespoons margarine

½ cup minced onion

½ cup minced green bell pepper

1 tablespoon dry mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 pinch cayenne pepper

¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 ¼ cups light cream

1 pound crab meat

2 egg yolks, beaten

½ cup bread crumbs

1 tablespoon melted butter

½ teaspoon paprika

1 cup corn oil, or as needed

Directions

Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and green bell pepper in margarine until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir mustard, Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning, salt, hot pepper sauce, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into the onion mixture. Sprinkle flour over the mixture; stir to integrate. Pour cream over the mixture; bring to a boil, stirring constantly and cook for 1 minute. Fold crab meat into the mixture.

Spoon some of the liquid from the skillet into the bowl with the beaten egg yolks to temper the egg; stir. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Transfer crab mixture to a bowl; refrigerate until chilled completely, about 1 hour.

Mix bread crumbs, melted butter, and paprika in a shallow bowl.

Divide the crab mixture into 4 portions; form into patties. Gently press the patties into the bread crumb mixture to coat.

Pour enough corn oil into a flat-bottomed pan to be 1-inch deep; heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cook patties in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
