LET'S GET COOKING!
Crab Cakes:
Thaw Lump Crab Cakes in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours. Preheat oven 350 °F.
Spray a small sheet pan with oil. Place crab cakes in pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 15-25 minutes. Internal temperature should reach 165 °F. Allow to rest 1-2 minutes before serving. Prepare Salad and sauce while crab cakes are in the oven.
Romesco Sauce:
In a blender or food processor, place all ingredients except olive oil. Process for 30 seconds until smooth. With motor on low setting, add olive oil in a slow stream. Increase speed to high and blend until smooth. Place in container, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve with crab cakes or seafood.
Truffle Dressing:
In a medium salad bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Dijon mustard, black pepper and truffle salt. Pour olive oil in a slow stream while continuing to mix with a whisk. Add chives and toss desired amount with salad. Serve on the side with crab cakes.
