Preparation
For the Crab Cakes
Roughly chop the vegetables in a food processor. Stir in mayonnaise and lemon juice and remove to a bowl. Stir in mustard and seasonings and then gently fold in crab and bread crumbs. Form mixture into individual crab cakes and pan sear in vegetable oil until golden brown on each side. If the cakes are thick, put them into the oven at 350 degrees to bake all the way through.
For the Roasted Corn Succotash
Roast corn in husks at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until the husks start to brown. Cool and then peel and corn the corn off the cob. Rub peppers with oil and roast at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes until blackened on all sides. Alternately, char the peppers on a burner or a grill. Cool peppers, remove skin, and dice.
In a sauté pan, melt butter, then add garlic and onions and cook until wilted. Stir in corn, peppers, and herbs. Toss to heat through and season to taste.
For the Remoulade
Combine all ingredients and refrigerate.
