I love crabmeat any way it’s served, especially in these crab cakes. If you don’t have time to dash to the store, substitute 2 teaspoons of dried basil for the fresh. —Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida
Ingredients:
1 egg white
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 drops hot pepper sauce
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, drained
6 saltines, finely crushed
1 tablespoon canola oil
seafood cocktail sauce, optional
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Stir in crab and cracker crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Shape mixture into four patties. In a large skillet, cook crab cakes in oil in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with cocktail sauce if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
