alisoncooks Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Cole slaw. Some sort of French fry/potato. Hush puppies. (But this all might be my Southern showing. Idk what other regions have with crab cakes…) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I love crabcakes! I agree with a potato dish -- French fries would be my pick. And coleslaw sounds good, too. Now I'm hungry. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe make crab cakes with a southeast asian flair (lemongrass, ginger, shallots) and go with thai salad sides and noodles.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildflowerMom Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Wild rice 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 This is to take to another person’s house, so anything fried is out. I should add that I need low carb food, so am looking to take something I can actually eat. The crab cakes will already be a bit carby. Editing my title to reflect this.

Faith-manor Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Garlicky roasted green beans would be a favorite of mine along with carrot slaw. Another option might be stuffed red peppers if you keep the amount of wild rice very low, and use Asiago parm plus sautéed veggies and mushrooms to fill them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Samphire would be good. You could saute in olive oil with a little garlic. Just don't add salt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 46 minutes ago, Drama Llama said: Do you have a recipe for those peppers? Not really. I just throw it together. If I had to approximate a guess, I would say: 1 large sweet onion peeled, and finely diced. 1 package of baby portabella mushrooms (crimini) sliced and saute` with a large, finely diced celery stalk, add some shredded fresh spinach to wilt, three or four minced garlic cloves, 1/3 cup asiago, and basil. Salt to taste, mix with 1-1.5 cups cooked wild or brown rice. Brown the outsides of and bottoms of hollowed out peppers under the broiler, just lightly. Then fill the peppers and put back under the broiler to toast well. I don't use recipes much anymore. LOL, I think I watched too much Beat Bobby Flay. Now I kind of make it up as I go, tasting along the way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
