The dinner was something of a improvisation for that evening, using ingredients I had just found hanging around the kitchen (except perhaps for one very deliberate move, ahead of time, to defrost some frozen crab cakes). That may explain why, in the end, there was a lot going on with this entrée, but it was pretty tasty nevertheless. …

crab cake on tomato salsa, with zhug; mustard kale, garlic
I didn’t get to the Union Square Greenmarket on Monday, so while I missed the P.E. & D.D. Seafood stall, that night I rewarded us both with a meal that included a pair of their crab cakes made inside their home by Delores Karlin, wife of fisherman Phil Karlin, that I’d defrosted earlier in the …
crab cake on tomato salsa on baby arugula; haricots, scape
It was much like a dinner of salads. Although the crab cakes and the beans each had been cooked a bit, they didn’t insist on being any more than just a little warm when we started eating. two crab cakes from P.E. & D.D. Seafood (ingredients: crab, egg, flour, red & green peppers, garlic, salt, …
crab cake, salsa, mizuna bed, micro scallion; mixed greens
Sometimes these crab cake meals are virtually salads, but for me they’re actually easier (quicker at least) to put onto the table than the real thing, whether the salad is to serve as the whole meal, or only one of its elements. And there’s almost as much room for improvising as there is in putting …
crab cake, tomato salsa; chicory, leek, lemon, herbs
I wasn’t going to post this about meal, mostly because it was entirely improvised and I didn’t expect I’d remember what went into it, but then I realized that those might actually be good reasons for including it. two crab cakes from PE & DD Seafood (crab, egg, flour, red & green peppers, garlic, salt, …
crab cake, tomato salsa; grilled leek, habanada, arugula
These were crab cakes with trimmings. The pictures probably betray the fact that when I put this meal together color may not have been the least consideration. The image below is of the grilled leeks after some heated Habanada pepper had been scattered on top, and before they were divided onto the plates. I had …
crab cake, spicy salsa; haricots verts; fried yellow tomato
The salsa I have often prepared as a ‘bed’ for these wonderful crab cakes from the Union Square Greenmarket has no formula. Usually dominated by tomatoes of some kind, it’s always a (varying) mélange of bits of herbs and spices, often including a bit of some kind of allium. The crab and the salsa is always accompanied by …
crab cake with tomato-mint-chili-scallion salsa; puntarelle
I still can’t say enough about how delicious these crab cakes are, and how much fun it is to assemble a base for them, usually some kind of salsa. They also require very little heat to prepare, and the puntarelle doesn’t ask for any, which means this entire entrée was particularly welcome on an evening when our …
crab cake, salsa, orpine; potato, wild garlic, lovage, cress
looks like a flattened bouquet Yes, it definitely looks like I had a lot of greenery on hand, but I think I managed to disguise some of its volumes with a little judicious mixing with other elements of the meal. And this wasn’t just ordinary greenery, as it included upland cress, wild garlic (bulb and …
late night supper: crab cake, tomato salsa; red cress salad
‘midnight pasta’, but this time without the pasta We had been to a holiday party, and although we had enjoyed some terrific hors d’oeuvres (Chinese-Portuguese tapas, actually), when we arrived back home we both felt we could use a little more substance. I had anticipated the probabliity by defrosting two crab cakes earlier in the …
