Well I am not really sure what to do! hahah! Hopefully I wont have to endure this for the next nine months because that will be unbearable! Yes you read that right.....nine months, well actually seven and a half months. :) To answer the question in your head...yes! I am expecting! My blog has been a bit dead because I seriously have not been able to stand the smell of cooking food. This problem has lessened a bit this weekend so I finally fed my poor starving husband (yeah right) a homecooked meal. When I asked him what he wanted he immediately said "Crabcakes!!!" Well I couldn't find any crab so I used the next best thing....lobster. I decided on lobster cakes served over broccoli slaw. It looked so yummy I even ate some of it. :) Enjoy!
Lobster Cakes
1/2 pound cooked lobster, chopped ( I used two tails)
1/8 cup fresh minced chives
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together Maine lobster, chives, lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard and 1 tablespoon panko in a large bowl. Season the mixture to taste with sea salt and fresh pepper. Cover the mixture and chill. Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over moderate heat. Sauté the minced garlic until golden and fragrant. Remove the garlic, add 1/2 cup panko and cook, stirring, until crumbs are golden brown. Cool crumbs. Divide lobster mixture into 4 mounds on a sheet of waxed paper. Form into patties and coat each patty with crumbs. Sprinkle any remaining crumbs on the top. Line a sheet pan with foil, transfer cakes to pan. Bake in the oven at 400°F (205°C) until just heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve over slaw or with a yummy remoulade :)
