So today was the first day back to school for the semester. It went smoothly, but I need to talk to my body about waking it up. It doesn't think that it's necessary... In celebration I brushed my hair and put a little product in it. Thus it looked presentable and people were astonished. Sadly I wasn't surprised. With the start of a new semester the start to my ever changing menu began. Today I treated myself to some crab cakes with a homemade aioli . The recipe is under the menu tab. This crab cake is very loosely packed. I needed a metal ring to really get them in shape, but I did without. My kitchen armory is being slowly built up. The aioli is very simple, much like your basic mayo recipe. The aioli could be used on other things but they'd need to be a sturdier protein. For example, Salmon would be a great partner due to it's ability to hold up to bright acidic flavors. Never made a mayo before? No problem this recipe is super simple and can be done by hand without your arm falling off from whisking! Pairing this with a dry white wine like a Riesling or Chardonnay would taste great. This would also benefit from a lighter side like a dark, green, leafy salad because of the crab cake being fried. Prep time and cooked time combined didn't take me more than 20-2 5 mins. Totally doable on a tight schedule! I didn't even have anything prepped in advance like usual. Well check the recipe out and let me know what you think! Also new is the contact me form! Let me know if you have any recipe ideas, or any cool places to visit in the city!
