San Francisco Crab Cakes
These are delicious and easy to make. You can use Dungeness crab or Maryland crab if that's what you can get at your seafood department. I use fresh lump meat, but you can use half fresh meat and half canned meat. I have no idea if you can freeze them or leave them in the refrigerator over night. My family consumes them immediately. I love having my crab cakes with a Pinot Grigio. Cheers!
Makes 8 crab cakes.
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg .
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard.
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce.
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper or 1/2 tsp. hot sauce.
2 cups jumbo crab meat.
3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs.
2 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley.
salt and pepper to taste.
lemon to squeeze on at the end of cooking.
Vegetable or Canola oil for frying. About 3 -4 Tbsp.
Heat oil in a large saute pan or cast iron skillet. Combine mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, hot sauce or cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix crab meat, panko bread crumbs and parsley. Fold crab mixture into egg and mayo mixture. Add salt and pepper. I use an ice cream scoop to form the same size balls. I slightly flatten them out with my hand. I cook them over high heat until they are browned and then flip them to brown the other side. I place them on a paper towel to drain. Serve immediately with lemon or tartar sauce.
