I love crab cakes
** ** ** *** **

Made crab cakes last night for dinner.

They were scrumptious! I got the recipe from

my "I Love Crab Cakes" book that I picked

up in Seattle while on our Grizwald RV trip.

Darryl and I were in Crab cake heaven!

Here is the recipe that I used.

Steve's Perfect Crab Cakes

1 lb. crab meat, drained, and picked

of shell and lightly squeezed if wet

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 Tbl. grated lemon zest

2 Tbl. fresh dill, minced

2 Tbl. chives, diced

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup panko, plus 1 cup more

for dredging

5 Tbls. butter

~

Put crab, mayo, lemon zest, dill, chives, salt

and pepper in a large bowl. Mix everything

together gently. Add 1/2 cup panko and mix again.

Pour remaining panko into a shallow bowl.

Form the crab mixture into approx. 8 patties.

Pat them gently into shape without pressing them

too much. Drop the patties into the panko and turn

them to coat both sides, patting to shake off the

excess. If you have time, cover them with plastic

wrap and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or more..

I did not...

In a large saute pan, heat butter (I added a bit

of olive oil too) cook crab for approx. 6 min. on

ea. side, till golden brown and crispy.

I served with a squeeze of lemon and a bit of

tarter sauce - and a side spring mix salad.

Enjoy!
