Mardi Gras Menu
Mardi Gras (when translated from French means Fat Tuesday) is the celebration the day before Ash Wednesday which kick off of Lenten season. It seems everyone has a little Cajun in their soul, and likes to celebrate Mardi Gras by getting a little crazy and indulging in great food, drink, and fun! This menu is a perfect for such a celebration. All three dishes have a great make-ahead components that make them ideal for entertaining and cutting loose. But are recipes that are classic dishes that you can serve any time of the year for any celebrations.
So what are we cooking?
These crab cakes are filled with beautiful lump crab meat, with just a little bit of breadcrumbs and an egg to just lightly blind them together. They are then sautéed and the best part can be made ahead then reheated just before serving. We are pairing them with a homemade remoulade sauce, a spicy traditional French dipping sauce that will make you want to dip everything in it and that is sure to kick-start your party!
