2 c Crab meat
3 Green onions; thinly sliced
2 Eggs; beaten
1 tb Worcestershire sauce
1 ts Hot sauce
1 tb Cajun seasoning
4 tb Mayonnaise
1 c Fine fresh bread crumbs;
-(plus extra for coating)
Olive oil for cooking
In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except the crab meat and mix
well. Add the crab and continue mixing gently, trying not to break the crab
meat up too badly. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator
for about one hour. In a large heavy skillet heat about 1/4 inch of olive
oil over moderate heat. Make a half dollar sized patty of the rab mixture
approximately 1/2 inch thick and coat it evenly on all sides with the bread
crumbs. Saute on both sides until golden brown, being careful not to let it
burn. Remove and set aside on paper towels. Continue until all the crab
mixture is used. Makes approximately 36 cakes. Serve hot or cold with hot
sauce, lemon wedges, tartar sauce or red cocktail sauce.
NOTES : If using as a main course this will serve about 6 people with
2 large cakes per serving. I prefer to eat these cold as appetizers. I use
a habanero type hot sauce.
