Okay folks. I don't think I have posted this recipe before and it is a winner for sure! We ate 2 each with Brussels sprouts, an ear of corn, and a small salad. The other two are waiting to make us a wonderful crab cake sandwich for lunch.
Maryland Crab Cakes
3 PointsPlus per cake
2 cakes =5
3 cakes = 8
Yields: 6 Maryland Crab Cakes
Ingredients:
1 pound backfin Blue crab meat or other lump crab meat
8 saltine crackers (I used a half cup of Panko)
1 egg beaten (1/4 cup egg white)
2 tbsp mayonnaise (Lite)
1 tsp mustard (Dijon)
1/4 tsp Worcestershire
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
salt to taste
2 tbsp vegetable oil (EVOO)
Preparation:
Carefully check the crab meat for any cartilage. Put meat in a bowl and set it aside.
Crush the saltine crackers very fine and mix with all the other ingredients. Gently fold in the crab. Only mix enough to combine ingredients. You don't want to break up the crab into fine shreds. Shape into 6 crab cakes, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan. Sauté until golden brown on each side. This will only take about 3-5 minutes per side.
Garnish with tartar sauce, remoulade, or simply with a squeeze of lemon.
