Creole Tartar Sauce
Ingredients
Makes 1 1/3 cups

1 egg
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoons Creole or whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon salt


Recipe



Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until well blended, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green onions, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Stir for about 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk and stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg with the crabmeat and cracker crumbs. Mix gently so as not to break up the crabmeat. Fold in the milk mixture and let cool. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into patties. In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs (or cracker meal) with the Essence.
Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the patties, coating evenly, in the breadcrumb mixture. Fry the patties until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Creole Tartar Sauce:
Put the egg, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and green onions in a food processor and purée for 15 seconds. With the processor running, pour the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream. Add the cayenne, mustard, and salt, and pulse once or twice to blend.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before using. Best if used within 24 hours.
