Reviews
I pity the novice who sees this impressive recipe and the “easy” description. This recipe is easy, if you just happen to have a prep cook hanging around to brunoise and chop your vegetables, and make the hollandaise and crab cake mixture so it’s all there for you in advance.
Also, the recipe was scaled back from restaurant proportions, but you certainly don’t need a quart of hollandaise and 2 pounds of crab cake mixture to get 16 tablespoons of each. No wonder there are no reviews!
Michael Mina is a fabulous chef; I’ve been to several of his restaurants. I’m sure this dish is excellent. The rating is for the messed up proportions! He probably uses those amounts of hollandaise and crab mix in a night!
