Ingredients

1 pound blue crabmeat
1 tablespoon small diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon small diced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon heavy mayonnaise
2 eggs
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Maryland-style crab seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
2 tablespoons canola oil
Mustard Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients, except oil and Mustard Sauce until blended. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. With a tablespoon, carefully spoon poker-chip size mini-cakes into the pan. (The batter will be very loose since there are no bread crumbs, but once the egg in the mix starts to cook they will hold together fine.) Cook on 1 side until firm, about 2 minutes, and then flip and cook for about 1 more minute. Cook in batches as necessary. Serve hot with mustard sauce.

Mustard Sauce:

1/4 cup heavy mayonnaise

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Yield: 3/4 cup

Easy and fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these last night and they couldn't have been easier or better. For some reason they ended up a little salty (I guess... the crab itself starts out salty, huh?). I didn't have any Worcestershire sauce, so I used steak sauce as a substitute. Also only used green pepper (didn't have a red one) and threw in a scallion, which gave it a really nice flavor.Read more

EXCELLENT--even my husband was surprised at how good these were!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What a treat for a low carb meal! Here's how I tweaked it: deleted 1 Tbs. green pepper; FINELY minced the red pepper; upped... the Old Bay to 1 Tbs. I used a large scoop (3 Tbs.) to form 12 cakes. Like others suggested I chilled the cakes for more than an hour--did not fall apart when I sauteed them in 2 Tbs. grapeseed oil and 2 Tbs. butter. I'll be making these again SOON.Read more

AWESOME!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for Mom when she was visiting and the hubby...we all loved it! Took the advice of fellow food networkers and let... it set in the refridge about 20 min for the patties to set. It really helped them stick. The mustard sauce was excellent. I served it with a ceasar salad on the side and it was awesome!Read more

Better than the real thing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm not doing a low carb diet, and I think this is better than "real" crab cakes. Great flavors and not "bready" like others... tend to be. PS My grocery store didn't have anything but imitation crab, and even that turned out well...jbut it added some carbs, so be careful.Read more
