Great recipe for Crab Cakes. We LOVE them. Submitted to a local news program by Vincent Sarna (of NJ - not local resident). I assume this is his recipe, but, don't really know. It's a great recipe, though. Well worth the effort. Read more . Serve on a portabello mushroom.
Ingredients:
1 1-lb can lump crab meat( pick through to remove shells )
3 oz minced onion
2 oz minced celery
2 oz minced red pepper
1 tblsp chopped parsley
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tblsp dijon mustard
1 cup bread crumbs ( i use panko bread crumbs )
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 oz white wine
1 egg beaten
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp old bay seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
paprika ( for dusting crab cakes before baking )
melted butter
6 large portabello mushrooms - for serving
optional: 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and diced

1. In a non-stick pan add two tbsp butter.

5. When mixed thoroughly add the remaining ingredients, mix thoroughly.
