A New Recipe

Crab Cakes

1 pound super lump crab meat
1 tsp Old Bay seafood seasoning
1 tsp chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
1- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (one and one-half)
1- 1/2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, beaten with a fork

Mix together lightly and pan fry to brown in 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon canola oil. Cook about 3 minutes a side over medium-high heat. Can make the patties ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Fry up later, just before serving.

Makes 8 patties to serve 4 people for dinner. Or, can make smaller patties for a party appetizer.

Serve with Red Pepper Sauce (recipe follows)

Red Pepper sauce

1 (8-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained
1 cup mayonnaise or reduced fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup prepared chili sauce

Combine drained red peppers in a food processor bowl with mayonnaise and chili sauce. Pulse/grind the ingredients into a smooth sauce. Transfer sauce to a small serving dish.

This makes quite a bit of sauce. Also good with cold shrimp cocktail.
