Crabmeat and Tasso Sliders Recipe

The less-expensive varieties of crabmeat like "special white" (that's the flaky, non-lump white meat) and claw meat are very inexpensive. If you use them with a few other ingredients to make burger-like patties, you can pan-fry or broil them, then make tremendously delicious slider-style sandwiches. Especially good with white remoulade.

•1 stick butter
•1/3 cup flour
•1/3 cup milk
•1 lb. white or claw crabmeat
•2 oz. tasso, chopped fine
•1/4 red bell pepper, chopped
•2 green onions, tender green parts only, thinly sliced
•1 cup bread crumbs
•8 small French bread rolls or kaiser rolls


White Remoulade Sauce:
•1/4 cup mayonnaise
•2 Tbs. Creole mustard
•1 tsp. lemon juice
•4 drops Tabasco
•1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
•1/8 tsp. salt
•3 Tbs. green onion tops, finely sliced


1. Reserve 2 Tbs. of the butter, and melt the rest in a saucepan. Ad the flour and cook over medium-low heat, as if making a roux, stirring constantly, until the texture changes. Do not allow it to brown.

2. Add the milk and whisk until well blended into what looks like thin mashed potatoes. This is a bechamel. Remove from heat.

3. Combine crabmeat, tasso, bell pepper, and green onions. Add this to the bechamel, and stir in gently with a wooden spoon.

4. Turn the mixture out onto a cutting board. Form round, flat cakes the size of thick hamburgers.

5. Put the bread crumbs onto a plate and gently press the crab patties down to coat.

6. Heat the remaining butter to bubbling in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the crab cakes on both sides until a crusty brown.

7. Combine all the ingredients for the white remoulade.

8. Warm the bread rolls in the oven. Spread with the remoulade and place a crab cake in each. Baby lettuce makes a nice finishing touch, if you like.

Makes eight sandwiches.
