Steps:
- Heat broiler. Place the red bell peppers, cut-side down, in a single layer in a baking pan or on a baking sheet. Broil until the skins start to blister, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to steam.
- When cool enough to handle, remove skin and seeds. Place the peppers in the bowl of a food processor, and process until a coarse puree forms. Squeeze the puree through a piece of cheesecloth to remove any liquid. Transfer to a medium bowl, mix in the mayonnaise, and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
SPICY, CHEESY CRAB CAKES WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE
These luscious cakes boast a combination of ricotta and jalepeno jack cheese, along with the bite of chive. Although it contains bold flavors, you can still taste the flavor of the crab. I have been making these in my family for years, serving them as appetizers at New Year's Eve parties, get togethers, or just for dinner as an entree with rice; they are often requested. I know this originally came from a magazine, I believe Midwest Living, but it's been copied so many times that I'm not sure exactly. I combed the crab cake recipes on this site but couldn't seem to find this one; hopefully this isn't a duplicate. Either canned or fresh crabmeat work well in these, and they are great with or without the sauce. The original recipe has you keeping them in the oven while you fry the rest of the crab cakes; I would not recommend this as it detracts from the flavor and texture of the freshly fried cake.

Steps:
- If using, prepare the sauce by blending the mayo and roasted peppers in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
- Whisk eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in crab, both cheeses, chives, and a quarter cup of the breadcrumbs.
- Pour the remaining half a cup of breadcrumbs into a shallow dish.
- Line a large plate or baking sheet with waxed paper. Line a second large plate or baking sheet with paper towels (the latter for draining the finished crab cakes).
- Form heaping tablespoons of the crab mixture into cakes of a quarter-inch thickness, coat each with the crumbs, and place on the waxed paper-lined plate or baking sheet.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the vegetable oil until a droplet of water thrown in starts to sizzle or until bubbles start to gather around the tip of a wooden spoon placed in the oil, whatever method you choose.
- Fry cakes, a few at a time, until golden on both sides, approximately three minutes total for each batch.
- As cakes cook, remove them to the paper-towel lined baking sheet.
- When all cakes are cooked, move to serving platter, arranging around a bowl of the sauce, if you like.
- These are also really good served with a squirt of Kewpie mayonnaise (Japanese mayo; it's sweeter) mixed with a few drops of hot sauce; I like to use Tapatio.

Steps:
- In a bowl combine the crab meat, the salt, and black pepper to taste. In a small saucepan cook the bell pepper in 3 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the lemon juice, the beaten egg, and the Worcestershire sauce, and stir the mixture into the crab meat. Add the chopped hard-boiled egg and the bread crumbs, combine the mixture gently but thoroughly, and form it into 4 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a large heavy skillet heat the oil with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in the fat sauté the crab cakes, turning them carefully, for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Serve the crab cakes with the lemon wedges, the remaining hard-boiled egg, and the tartar sauce.
ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE FOR CRAB CAKES
Also good on grilled fish and grilled chicken. Different from those posted here already and easy, made with ingredients you probably keep on hand: jar roasted red peppers, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper sauce, mayo and salt and pepper. You can use low fat mayo to cut calories. For about 10 crab cakes, using 1 lb. crab, you may want to make half the recipe. We had a lot left over.
