Had my boss Debbie over for dinner last night, for an authentic NJ Diner experience. The menu included fried mozzarella sticks, Maryland crab cakes, chicken-fried steak, stuffing, and for dessert, bread pudding and jello (Debbie's favorite!). The jello was red & blue, and set in a brain jello mold (photo coming soon!). But the crab cake recipe follows (this is so easy and so yummy!):
MARYLAND CRAB CAKES
Ingredients:
1 pound Maryland Crab meat
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Margarine, butter, or oil for frying
1. Remove all cartilage from crabmeat
2. In a bowl, mix bread crumbs, eggs, mayonnaise and seasonings.
3. Add crab meat and mix gently by thoroughly. If mixture is too dry, add a little more mayonnaise. Shape into 6 cakes.
4. Cook cakes in a frying pan in just enough fat to prevent sticking until they are browned (about 5 minutes on each side).
