Crabmeat Burgers with Purple Cabbage Slaw


Burgers aren't just made from Ground Chuck! Consider experimenting with all sorts of new burger ingredients. You'll be surprised how many you can come up with once you start thinking. Try this one if you're ready to think "outside the ground chuck bun."

1 pound crabmeat, pick through carefully for shell pieces
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced chives
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco, or to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter

Lightly mix crab, egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard, lemon juice, celery seed, Old Bay, pepper and hot sauce in a large bowl. Form into 6 patties. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter stops foaming. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

Serve with tartar sauce and sliced red onion.
