CRAB CAKE SANDWICH WITH PAPAYA BARBECUE SAUCE
SERVES: 2⎪ DIFFICULTY: EASY⎪ FUNK: CASUAL
Take a delicious leftover crab cake from the batch you (or your mom) made last night…and pop it between 2 slices of bread with a spread of mayo and a pile of arugula. Then go the EXTRA mile, and slather on some Papaya Barbecue Sauce. It’s bright, fruity flavor lifts the crab to places you never thought it could. If you want, finish it off with some red onion and buttery avocado. Now sit back, close your eyes, and listen to the sound of the ocean waves.
Mise en Place
- 2 crab cakes, store-bought or homemade
- 2 English muffins
- mayonnaise
- a handful arugula
- Papaya Barbecue Sauce
COOKS NOTE My leftover crabcakes came from Ina Garten’s recipe. My mom uses the measurements as a guide then goes rouge on the ingredients and cooking method. If I were you, I’d try mixing in a few tablespoons of Papaya Barbecue Sauce ; )
