  • 1 pound Dungeness crabmeat, picked over, cartilage and shell bits removed
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, preferably homemade
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons dried bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 fennel bulbs, quartered
  • 1 yellow zucchini, sliced
  • 24 asparagus spears
  • 2 leeks, halved
  • 1 pound new potatoes, partially cooked for 10 minutes in water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Saffron Aioli, recipe follows
  • 8 to 10 cloves garlic
  • Salt
  • White pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature*
  • 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil, at room temperature
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Pinch cayenne

Method

  • Saute the peppers and garlic in olive oil.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • In a big bowl, combine the crabmeat, 3 tablespoons of the mayonnaise, herbs, bread crumbs, and the cooled Sauteed mixture.
  • Mix well.
  • If it seems dry, add more mayonnaise.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Make balls from crab mix into 8 equal portions.
  • Pat each into a disk.
  • Chill again until ready to cook.
  • Preheat grill for 20 minutes before you need to cook vegetables.
  • Prep all the vegetables then toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper in separate bowls.
  • Grill them over medium high heat until they are tender but not mushy, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the heat of the grill.
  • As they come off grill, toss them in a bit more olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Fry the crab cakes over medium high heat in olive oil until golden brown.
  • Serve with the grilled vegetables and Saffron Aioli.
  • Use garlic that is fresh and firm.
  • If garlic has sprouted, split the cloves and remove green germ.
  • In food processor, puree garlic until chopped fine.
  • Season with salt and pepper and add the saffron and egg yolks.
  • With motor running slowly, add the olive oil in a thin steady stream.
  • When it is done, it should be like a thick mayonnaise.
  • Add lemon juice and cayenne and taste for seasoning.
  • Alternatively, you can make the aioli in a mortar and pestle, which is the traditional way.
  • *RAW EGG WARNING
  • Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness.
  • To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
  • Yield: 2 cups
