Crab Cakes


Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
1 oz garlic, minced
2 oz diced onion
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp old bay seasoning
1 oz parshley flakes
1 oz dried mustard
sprinkle of paprika
sprinkle of garlic powder
sprinkle of chili powder
1 lb crab meat
1 raw egg
1 cup of bread crumbs
cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

In a large pan saute butter, garlic, onions and peppers until tender. Let cool. In a large bowl combine mayo, lemon juice, old bay, parsley, mustard, and the sprinkles of seasoning. Set small amount aside for dipping sauce. In a separate bowl mix crab meat and egg (being careful not to break the crab meat). Combine the 3 mixtures together. Toss and mix gently. Add more bread crumbs if needed. Should be able to make a patty with the mixture.

Form into 3 inch patties and 1/2 inch thick and saute in non-stick pan until golden brown on both sides.










Serve with rest of the mayo dipping sauce and a lemon wedge. Garnish with tomato and a cilantro leaf!
