Crab Cake Ingredients
- 1 pound lump crab meat
- 1/2 cup bell pepper yellow, red, or a little of both, diced
- 2 large eggs separated
Crab Cakes Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chives finely chopped
Make the sauce by combining the ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve. (Can be made several days in advance).
Mix crab and seasonings: In a mixing bowl add the crab meat, bell peppers, one beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, mayo, garlic, cilantro and salt and pepper. Gently stir just until blended. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 5 hours.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown on bottom. Gently flip to the other side and cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a plate. Serve warm with chipotle mayo sauce for dipping.
