Crab Cakes image

These are the best crab cakes I've ever eaten. I got the recipe from Cuisine magazine. Every time I make them I hear alot of oohs and ahhs and requests for the recipe. There's a local family-owned restaurant in town known for their crabcakes. My teenage niece said they were the only crabcakes she likes, until she tried these. These are even better.

3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup red pepper, diced
1/3 cup celery, diced
1/3 cup yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup scallion, minced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg
2 tablespoons minced parsley
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Sautee the red pepper, celery, and onion in the butter 5 minute.
  • or until tender.
  • Cool slightly.
  • In a bowl, combine all the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT crabmeat.
  • Combine sauteed vegetables with mixture.
  • Pick through crabmeat for shells or cartlidge.
  • Using your fingers, gently blend the crab into the mixture.
  • This helps preserve the large pieces of crab.
  • Shape crab mixture into cakes.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • I've made the the day before and left in frig overnight.
  • Broil cakes for 3-4 minute.
  • or until browned.
  • Turn them over carefully.
  • I use a spatula and my fingers so they don't fall apart.
  • Broil other side for 3-4 minute.
  • I place them on a platter and garnish with parsley and lemon.
  • I serve cocktail sauce and tartar sauce with them.
  • I've also made the cakes much smaller and served them as appetizers.

These crab cakes were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add more mayonnaise next time.
