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.
