Crab Cake

Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, red bell pepper, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper until just incorporated. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    After chilling, form the crab mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Fry the Crab Cakes

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with Corn Chow Chow and Poblano Chili Remoulade on the side.
