Health benefits of Crab Burgers with Frisee Salad

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1/2 cup tartar sauce
2 tablespoons crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
10 thick slices Pullman loaf or country white bread
12 ounces (2 1/2 cups) jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg, beaten
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 thick slices Pullman loaf or country white bread
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing bread
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
6 cups torn frisee (about 5 ounces)

Instructions

Stir together the tartar sauce and crab boil seasoning in small bowl and set aside.
2. Tear 2 slices bread with crusts into small pieces and put into a bowl with the crab. Add the mayonnaise, Worcestershire, egg and a pinch of salt. Mix together gently, then form into 4 patties.
3. Preheat the broiler. Heat the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot, add the crab burgers and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes total. Brush the remaining Pullman slices with oil on 1 side and place under broiler and toast to light golden brown.
4. Stir together shallot, lemon juice, and mustard with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil, then add the frisee and toss to coat.
5. Place the Pullman toasts plain-side up and spread with tartar sauce. Top 4 bread slices with frisee, a crab burger and remaining bread slices. Serve any remaining frisee salad on the side.
