Crab Cakes
Serves: 4
2 Tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 lb. cooked crab meat, flaked
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Flour for dredging
Butter for frying
Red Pepper Sauce (optional)

Mix together the parsley, mustard, Worcestershire, eggs and mayonnaise. Add the crab meat and crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and combine well.
Divide the mixture into 8 portions; flatten into patties. Coat each patty lightly with flour.

Heat butter, enough to generously cover the bottom, in a large fry pan over medium high heat.
Add the crab patties, in batches if necessary, and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately, with or without the Red Pepper Sauce.

Note: This would make a great appetizer. Make one crab cake per person. The recipe can be cut in half.
