Corn and Crab Fritters with Sunny Spiked Aioli
  • Serves 4
Author Notes

Because my husband loves sauces and I wanted a lighter version of aioli for corn and crab fritters, I came up with the following recipe, no huge changes from other aioli recipes, lighter with a touch of my ground red pepper flakes and a teaspoon or two of my favorite orange juice from Cara Cara oranges.

Equipment, the whisk attachment on the stick blender, moments to make.

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 whole egg + 1 yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup mild olive oil
  • 1/4 cup EVOO
  • 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons juice from a Cara Cara orange
  • 2 small cloves of garlic
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • pinches of ground red pepper flakes
Directions
  1. Egg and pressed garlic in the stick blender jar, whisk for several seconds on medium low speed, slightly thickened, slowly add the oil until you get a smooth thick aioli.
  2. Place in serving bowl and sprinkle a little ground red pepper.
  3. Keep in mind that I didn't want to overwhelm the crab flavor or fresh corn in the fritters, but you can certainly adjust any of the ingredients to suit your own taste.

I mentioned the recipe in an earlier response and it is from Colin Cowie

Now I'm curious (and heading to Google to find out what a Cara Cara orange is!). i love the addition and fragrance of citrus in this = delicious

I'm thinking that Old Bay aioli would be great with the fritters.

Sure, certainly not one that I created, but one that I prefer. Not sure about posting a copyrighted recipe, but I have noted that it is a Colin Cowie recipe and found a link to his recipe as well. I took a look at his aioli recipe, interesting, but that amount of garlic, mustard and lemon sounds like too much for crab to me.

Can you post the crab and corn fritter recipe? Sounds like a killer combo.
