1
pound lump crab meat (check over carefully for shells)  
or 4 tablespoons diced onion  
tablespoons diced red bell pepper  
tablespoons mayonnaise  
tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped  
egg  
or 4 tablespoons plain bread crumbs  
or 2 dashes cayenne pepper or fresh ground black pepper  
Optional: chopped fresh garlic  
1
/2 cup plain bread crumbs  
Mix all ingredients by hand. Do not over blend and try not to break apart the crab meat too much.  
Mixture will be very wet and barely holding together. Mixture will make 4 large cakes or 6 smaller  
ones. Place a 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs in a plate. Grab a handful of crab mixture and gently pat  
together. Gently lay the cake onto the bread crumbs and flip onto the other side to coat. Put cakes into  
the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up.  
Coat a frying pan with oil. Sauté the crab cakes for 4 to 5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook another 2  
to 3 minutes till browned.
