We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio are great choices for Crab. Chilled crab tastes great with pinot grigio. Warm crab (especially with butter) can be matched with a buttery Chardonnay or a crisp fruity Riesling. The Arrowood Sonoma Chardonnay with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.

Arrowood Sonoma Chardonnay

Aromas of delicate pear and melon mix with citrus characteristics of grapefruit and lemon, while flavors of sweet canned pears and melon dominate the palate.VintageIn the glass, the 2000 Sonoma County Chardonnay offers up a mouth-watering array of intriguing flavors and aromas. Loaded with fruit, it comes at you from all directions. VineyardThe fruit for our 2000 Sonoma County Chardonnay comes from three exceptional vineyards in the Russian River Valley. Each vineyard reflects its distinct terroir and contributes different nuances and characteristics to the wine. Fermentation & AgingBecause the fruit is grown in a relatively cool climate, we put it through barrel and malolactic fermentation to balance out the crisp acids and give the wine a rich and creamy texture. Sur lies aging and stirring in French oak barrels adds hints of toasty oak and complexity to the blend

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375F and set the top rack to the middle position (BTW, this recipe is a great toaster oven candidate). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or a nonstick cooking mat. In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, diced red bell pepper, half of the diced green onion (reserving the other half) and half of the bread crumbs (reserving the other half). Mix in the honey and chili powder, then season to taste with salt and pepper. I like to form my crab cakes by pressing them into a 1/2 cup measure, squeezing tightly so theyll hold their shape. You can mould them with your hands as well, but be sure to press them together tightly or they might fall apart in transit to the plates. Arrange the crab cakes on the lined baking sheet, leaving at least 1 between each crab cake. Using your olive oil sprayer (if you have one; or by drizzling olive oil) lightly coat the outside of each crab cake. This will help with browning and to form an outer crust. Bake at 375F for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Meanwhile, fry the bacon or prosciutto in a large skillet until crispy. Set aside to drain, then crumble into small pieces using a sharp knife. Finely chop the spinach and watercress stems. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and saut 1 minute. Then, add the remaining green onion, bread crumbs and watercress stems. Saut 1 minute more. Finally, add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, plate a crab cake atop a smear of the spinach mixture, then sprinkle the whole plate with crumbled bacon.
