Yield 20 crab cakes, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 eggs
11 ounces canned crabmeat, drained
2 spring onions, finely chopped (see note)
1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
1 1/4 cups fresh white breadcrumbs
canola oil, for shallow frying
2 ripe roma tomatoes, chopped
1 small red onion, fine dice
1 large avocado, fine dice
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh chervil, leaves minced (can substitute parsley or tarragon )
1 teaspoon caster sugar (granulated sugar)
kosher sea salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl.
  • Add the crab meat, spring onion, mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce and breadcrumbs and stir well.
  • Season, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • To make the avocado salsa, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season with kosher sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, and toss gently to combine.
  • Using wet hands, form the crab mixture into 20 small flat cakes.
  • Heat about 1 1/4 inches oil in a large heavy-based pan and cook the crab cakes over medium heat for about 3 minutes each side, or until golden brown on both sides.
  • Drain well on paper towels or brown paper, and serve immediately, with avocado salsa to spoon onto the top.
  • NOTE: In America, what we term as the Spring onion has a slightly more and defined bulb and is typically larger than the slender and more delicate green onion (scallion). The flavor has more bite and is somewhat hotter.
  • IN ADVANCE: the crab mixture can be made a day ahead, then covered and refrigerated. Prepare the salsa close to serving time.

I thought the avocado salsa was a bit too spicy for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crab cakes didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a little dry.
