10 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
4 stalks celery, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Roasted Red-Pepper Dip for Crab Cakes

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, salt, and pepper; saute until the vegetables have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer the cooled vegetable mixture to a medium bowl. Add crabmeat, breadcrumbs, basil, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs, and stir to combine well. With your hands, shape mixture into 2-inch patties.
  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. In a large saute pan, heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 8 to 10 crab cakes, and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Transfer crab cakes to a baking sheet, and keep warm in the oven. Repeat, cooking the remaining crab cakes, adding remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil as needed. Serve hot with roasted red-pepper dip.

These crab cakes were delicious, but they were a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

These crab cakes were very good, but I think they would have been even better if I had used fresh crab meat instead of canned.
