Crab cakes are a beloved dish that can be prepared in various ways, including the choice of using real or imitation crabmeat. The article discusses the importance of thoughtful pairing with side dishes that enhance rather than overshadow the crab cakes. Summer is an ideal season for crab cakes, and lighter vegetable dishes are recommended. Grilled polenta is highlighted as a particularly versatile and complementary side, suggesting it's served either as a crunchy side or as an innovative base for crab cake sliders, ensuring that flavors and textures harmonize beautifully.
When choosing side dishes for crab cakes, it's important to remember that you don't want your side dish to overpower the seafood stars of your table but rather to accentuate them.
You can grill your polenta to make a cornmeal-rich side dish that rivals cornbread for the perfect pairing to your crab cakes.
