Classic Crab Cakes
Description
Somewhere
in the back of your cupboard you have a can of crabmeat. Tonight’s
the night. Lemon wedges and hot pepper sauce are the ideal
condiments, with steamed green beans and potato salad to round out
the meal. Or whatever you have.
Ingredients
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3/4 tsp Old Bay or other seafood seasoning
6 ounces crabmeat, picked over and patted dry (about a cup)
2/3 cup saltine cracker crumbs (about 16 crackers)
1/4 cup minced green onions
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Methods/steps
Mix the mayonnaise and seasoning in a medium bowl. Add the crabmeat, 1/3 cup cracker crumbs, green onions and bell pepper. Mix carefully to avoid breaking up the crabmeat.
Form mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Place remaining 1/3 cup cracker crumbs in a shallow bowl.
Press crab cakes into crumbs, coating completely. (Can be prepared three hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Heat oil in a heavy non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry cakes until brown and crisp, about 6 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

Light and white would be my choice for wine. Surprise everyone with a sparkling Crémant d’Alsace Wolfberger.
