Try This At Home

Looking for a little Mitzvah culinary inspiration at home? SPACE Events, which recently launched a mobile SPACE Kitchen, is a full service event planning, design, production and entertainment company based in Englewood, NJ. They say that their crab cakes with mango salsa and lamb chops with chimichurri sauce are two of their most requested hors d’oeuvres for Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations. They’re sharing their secret ingredients with our readers:

Combine crab meat, celery, red pepper, scallions, cilantro, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs in a bowl; gently scoop into small patties and lightly fry on the stove top until golden brown. To make the mango salsa combine fresh mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Let chill, then scoop over cooked crab cakes

To make chimichurri sauce combine chopped shallot, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, parsley, red vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. While sauce is resting, grill or broil lamb chops until medium rare; top with chimichurri and serve
