Method
- Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, lemon, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
- Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the shallots in a little butter until translucent.
- Add the crab cake and let it charred, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
- Stir in the olive oil along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
