Jacques Pépin's Incredible Crab Cakes with Red Sauce | Cooking at Home | KQED

Bring a little piece of New England to your kitchen with Jacques Pépin's delicious crab cakes with red sauce recipe. We think you'll be surprised at how simple this is. The spicy pink sauce on the side perfectly compliments the crispy and sumptuous crab cakes. Jacques recommends as a first course, but this dish could definitely become the star of the show.
What you'll need:
2 slices of bread (or 3/4 cup bread crumbs), 8 oz of lump crab meat, 4 tbsp mayo, salt, 2 scallions, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp butter. For the sauce: 1/3 cup mayo, 1 tsp horseradish, 2-3 tbsp V-8, hot sauce (to taste), lemon juice, chives

I shouldn't be watching this before bed. It looks so good 😢😢😢

It was tough uploading this one. It made us so hungry!

One of the things I love about JP's videos is what it reveals about the ingredients he uses: V8, Hellmann's mayo, and what looks like ordinary store-bought white bread. No frou-frou gourmet stuff for a guy who can rely on his own skill.

[@jamesblanton6277]

Yea, I think he did gourmet for so long in Europe that he kind of got tired of it and now his cooking is super chill

[@veronicabell6652]

And Hellmans is a sponsor obviously the way the label is placed. But I like Hellmans and love Pepin.

Years ago while at the supermarket in his town I saw him at the meat counter and asked how to pick out a good pork loin; he obliged - always a kind gentleman willing to share his expertise. Happy Valentine's Day Chef Pepin - we love you!

[@kqed]

He's a national treasure!

I love it when he says, "That piece is for the chef." 6:47 and proceeds to pop a piece of hot molten lava into his mouth. One time Julia Child commented, "You have an asbestos tongue!"

I've made Chef Pépin's crab cakes a few times & they are wonderful. I used his avocado sauce with them. Next time I make his crab cakes, I'll make them with red; it sounds marvelous.

[@ron56pvi13]

Crab season is coming soon. Picking meat from hardshells saves a lot of money and tastes better than the pasturized stuff. To pick out the bits of shell and cartilage, turn off your lights and shine a uv flashlight on it. The bits and pieces will flouresce white and even the tiniest pieces are easily picked out.

[@morrismonet3554]

I like Old Bay seasoning in mine, but I can see where his gets its flavor from the sauce. 👍

[@luvzfrance24]

I would eat all four by myself unapologetically 😂

[@judypasqualone3819]

These look so good. I make my crab cakes with Old Bay in them..being from Md but it’s used a lot of places. Have you ever tried that recipe?

[@MuseFPS]

GOAT!!!

[@dianes9416]

Here in Maryland, we're known for crab cakes and I REFUSE to pay #23.00 and up for a crab cake when I can get 5 crab cakes out of a #32.00 16 oz container of fresh meat. The same size as yours. So easy to make. Here we add Old Bay. Will try you YOUR topping. You are my favorite. I'm 79 and still make crab cakes instead of restaurants. Thank you, I have all your cookbooks. I want to make the chimichri chicken.

[@tomlocmajian5558]

[@VLind-uk6mb]

I prefer Delia Smith's Maryland crabcakes recipe, which includes chopped red peppers. But, as he says, you can add what you like. And I would not burn them quite so much -- I think his heat was too high, initially. I never felt the need for sauce.

[@julesdemoor7151]

A total of 7 table spoons of mayo in this dis, if I'm not mistaken. A bit much for me. I usually make tuna cakes using potato rather than bread crumbs and mayo.

[@sullivanspapa1505]

True fans of Jacques Pepin KNEW where that errant piece of crab cake was headed…for the Chef!

[@user-ly4so3yg7l]

👍

[@L.Spencer]

I think the only crab I've had is imitation crab and it wasn't very good. I don't eat a lot of seafood, but I wish I could eat some things. This looks really good, like the tuna patties we used to make. We would eat them with rice and salsa.

[@ansalicru]

No Old Bay?

[@gizmophoto3577]

Right?

[@corystansbury]

A lot of regions don't use old Bay (Not that I'm criticizing it, as Chesapeake crab cakes are amazing).
