Crabby Patties


A couple of weeks ago, I found canned crab meat at TJ's and thought it'd be fun to make crab cakes (the recipe was on the back, to which I made substitutes & omissions). Combine all the wet ingredients first, then add the crab, then lastly the bread crumbs. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes so the bread crumbs can fully soak up the sauce. Pan fry and they're ready to eat--very easy and tasty!
  • 16 oz crab meat
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Lawry's seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs (mine was a freebie from JJ Bakery)
  • 1 chopped green onion
We also grilled some premarinated flap meat (a.k.a. carne asada) and zucchini. The crabby patties went quickly but there's plenty of grilled meat left over for carne asada tacos tomorrow night. One note on tacos: Instead of buying all the fixings separately, use 7-layer dip!
