Crab Cakes

We have this tradition at home to always make crabcakes whenever I visit. My sister is queen of crab cakes, I think she could eat them everyday. Here is a great and easy recipe that we have adopted and morphed a bunch of times. The great thing about it is that you can always morph it too! Add different spices, peppers, etc to change the texture or flavor.

Crabcakes
8 oz crab meat
2/3 cup crushed crackers, like Ritz plus more for dipping
1 red pepper, finely chopped
1/2 chopped yellow pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 egg
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt

Flake the crab meat. Add remaining ingredients and then form into patties. This recipe should make 8-10 patties.

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a skillet. Dip each cake into extra bread crumbs and fry in hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side. Serve hot with a dill dipping sauce.
