Jacques Pépin's Incredible Crab Cakes with Red Sauce | Cooking at Home | KQED

Bring a little piece of New England to your kitchen with Jacques Pépin's delicious crab cakes with red sauce recipe. We think you'll be surprised at how simple this is. The spicy pink sauce on the side perfectly compliments the crispy and sumptuous crab cakes. Jacques recommends as a first course, but this dish could definitely become the star of the show.

What you'll need:
2 slices of bread (or 3/4 cup bread crumbs), 8 oz of lump crab meat, 4 tbsp mayo, salt, 2 scallions, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp butter. For the sauce: 1/3 cup mayo, 1 tsp horseradish, 2-3 tbsp V-8, hot sauce (to taste), lemon juice, chives

I shouldn't be watching this before bed. It looks so good 😢😢😢

I love it when he says, "That piece is for the chef." 6:47 and proceeds to pop a piece of hot molten lava into his mouth. One time Julia Child commented, "You have an asbestos tongue!"

One of the things I love about JP's videos is what it reveals about the ingredients he uses: V8, Hellmann's mayo, and what looks like ordinary store-bought white bread. No frou-frou gourmet stuff for a guy who can rely on his own skill.

Years ago while at the supermarket in his town I saw him at the meat counter and asked how to pick out a good pork loin; he obliged - always a kind gentleman willing to share his expertise.
Happy Valentine's Day Chef Pepin - we love you!

I could watch this master boil water for an hour and still learn something.💙

M. Pepin's masterful and calm short 'Cooking at Home' videos are a joy to watch. They're also a relief from some chefs' long-winded twenty minute videos to make a dish that only takes five minutes or so to complete.

You're a good man Jaques. You make the world a bit brighter.

Master Chef Pepin never overcomplicates a recipe and he makes everything so easy.
I think he's so cute the way he sometimes pops a bit of food into his mouth ❤😊🍷

Pepin’s short vlogs are such a gift. Thank you, Jacques!

[Roccodabest]

Am I the only one who watches this 3-4 times in a row but never makes any receipe? Its just soothing.

I've made Chef Pépin's crab cakes a few times & they are wonderful. I used his avocado sauce with them. Next time I make his crab cakes, I'll make them with red; it sounds marvelous.

He has given us so much!!! All we can offer is our thanks, respect and love.

“That piece is for the Chef”. Well deserved! Love JP thank you for your ongoing tutelage

[draganap]

It is Friday afternoon and i am watching chef Pepin making crab cakes while enjoying eggs in poblano peppers made according to his recipe. I think i will make crepes later on.😂
Thank you Mr Pepin and KQED. ❤

First day of Lent! Thank you Chef, my wife and I needed a non-meat recipe.

[whaddoiknow]

A true master. Even in the spreading of sauce on the plate there is skill that sets the master apart. But it is all done with so much sincerity and only a few ingredients. No cursing, no juvenile noises, no bam shazzam, no frenzied running around, just solid basics.

[delawarepro]

Happy 😊 Cooking 🧑‍🍳 indeed! Living Legend 🇫🇷 right here in CT 🙌

[scotthorton]

I've got that same food processor as Jacques Pepin! Still going strong

[davidburke]

Wow, a few ingredients to compliment that beautiful crab meat! Thanks Jacque

You can all go and put Billi Holiday on and sing the blues because there's only enough for me
