Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tbsp flour
  • pinch sugar
  • pinch cumin (omit if making crabcakes)
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp capers
  • 1 tbsp chives
  • tiny pinch mace
  • steam the broccoli. refrigerate to cool, about 15 minutes.
  • in a food processor or blender, make a dense paste by blending the broccoli, parmesan, and cheddar. add the mace and process again to distribute it throughout the pesto.

Directions:

  1. Corn cakes:
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat and plunge the corn into it. Cover, and when the corn returns to a boil, turn off the heat. Let the corn sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Using tongs, lift out the corn and rinse with cold water to cool. Scrape the kernels off the cob, and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the eggs and flour, and process in short pulses until the mixture is still coarse in texture but even in color and well-combined. Stir in the sugar, cumin if making plain corncakes, and salt.
  4. Rub a little olive oil over the surface of a heavy nonstick pan or griddle, and heat until a bit of batter dropped on the surface bubbles in the center and browns on the bottom.
  5. If making plain corncakes, pour 3 tablespoons of batter into the pan or onto the griddle. When bubbles form on the surface and the bottom has browned, about 3 to 4 minutes, flip it over (using a nonmetallic spatula) to brown the other side, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a warm plate and cover with foil to keep warm, and repeat until you've used up all the batter. Serve each corncake spread with one of the pestos and/or garnished with sour cream, yogurt cheese, and salsa, if you'd like.
  6. If making crabcakes, pour 3 tablespoons of batter into the pan or onto the griddle, and when bubbles form on the side and the bottom is lightly browned, about 4 minutes, place a generous spoonful of Crab Filling in the center.
  7. Cover the filling with another 3 tablespoons of corn batter. Using a nonmetallic spatula, carefully flip the corncake to cook the other side until brown, about another 4 minutes. Transfer the corncake to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Serve the crabcakes garnished with sour cream, yogurt cheese, alfalfa sprouts, cherry tomatoes, and/or slivers of ripe avocado.
  8. Crab filling:
  9. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, scallion, capers, chives, and crabmeat. Stir well with a fork to blend the ingredients evenly. Refrigerate until ready to use
  10. Broccoli pesto:
  11. Cilantro pesto: 1 cup minced fresh cilantro 1/4 cup grated imported Parmesan cheese 1/2 garlic clove, grated 1/2 cup nonfat or part-skim ricotta cheese 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1/2 jalapeno pepper, roasted, peeled, and seeded
  12. Combine all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process to make a smooth, dense paste
