Answer 3

If you are serving the crab cakes as a main dish, try serving white or brown rice (prepare according to package instructions) with finely sliced green onions and toasted shredded coconut added after cooking. you could toss in a few slivered blanched almonds too. a fresh green salad with a few pieces of fruit (keeping it tropical, use pineapple chunks or papaya pieces) and a light vinagrette would be a nice refreshing veg course. macadamia nut cookies & vanilla bean ice cream for dessert.

Rachel Ray has an apple relish that is spicy and simple, I served it with crab cakes this past holiday and it was a hit. It was supposed to be served with Pumpkin soup (which I did for thanksgiving and that's when I knew it would be perfect for crab cakes). The soup is the easiest and tastiest soup ever, it took only 10-15 minutes total time to make. You can make it ahead of time also. I included both recipes here.


Pumpkin Soup with Chili Cran-Apple Relish Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
Show: Food Network Specials
Episode: Rachael Ray's Thanksgiving in 60







1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 tablespoons butter
1 fresh bay leaf
2 ribs celery with greens, finely chopped (save time and purchase celery already washed, trimmed and cut into sticks, this makes chopping fast work)
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning or 2 teaspoons ground thyme
2 teaspoons hot sauce, or to taste
6 cups chicken stock
1 (28-ounce) can cooked pumpkin puree
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Relish:
1 crisp apple, such as McIntosh or Granny Smith, finely chopped
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Heat a medium soup pot over medium to medium high heat. Add the oil and melt the butter. Add bay, celery, and onion. Season the veggies with salt and pepper. Cook 6 or 7 minutes, until tender. Add flour, poultry seasoning and hot sauce, to taste, then cook flour a minute. Whisk in chicken stock and bring liquid to a bubble. Whisk in pumpkin in large spoonfuls to incorporate it into the broth. Simmer soup 10 minutes to thicken a bit then add in cream and nutmeg. Reduce heat to low and keep warm until ready to serve.
While soup cooks, assemble the relish: combine apple, onion, lemon juice, cranberries, chili powder, honey and cinnamon.

Adjust seasonings in soup and relish and serve soup in shallow bowls with a few spoonfuls of relish.

Answer 5

I had them at a restaurant that served them with a little salad, and a salsa made of mango and papaya. It had a thin dressing that almost tasted like melted vanilla ice cream. The sweet and sour flavors were really good together.
