14 ounces abalone
1 large egg, lightly beaten
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons of minced seedless cucumber
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon grated lime rind
1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon rind
2 ½ teaspoons grated orange rind
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
¼ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
2 cups cornbread crumbs
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Canola oil
Dill sauce
Preparation
Place abalone in a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer abalone to a bowl; add egg and next 5 ingredients. Stir in lime rind and next 7 ingredients. Combine citrus juices. Slowly add juice until mixture is slightly wet but still holds together. Cover and chill at least 1hour.
Form chilled mixture in 10 balls (golf ball size); lightly roll in panko breadcrumbs. Flatter balls to form ½ inch thick patties.
Pour oil into a cast-iron skillet to a depth of 1 inch; heat to 375 degrees. Fry patties in batches, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Transfer to a baking sheet, and keep warm in a 200 degree oven. Repeat procedure with remaining patties. Serve with Dill sauce.
