Slowly And Surely Learning To Cook More

Simple Crab Cake Recipe:

1 can Trader Joes refrigerated crabmeat (about 1 lb)

1/3 cup crushed crackers (recommend Ritz crackers)

1 egg

1/2 cup bell pepper finely chopped (this is optional - still very yummy without it)

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons mayonaise 

2 tablespoons mustard 

Salt and Pepper

Lemon juice (optional)

Chopped Garlic (optional)

In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients.  Then shape the mixture into patties.  Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat.  When oil is hot, carefully place cab cakes in the pan and fry until brown (about 6 minutes on each side).  Note: sometimes the crab cakes fall apart - adding more egg yolk will really help them stick together.  Enjoy!
