Directions: |
Directions:In a large mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, red pepper, onion, scallions, parsley, and garlic. In a small bowl, stir together the egg, mustard, lemon juice, worcestershire and tabasco. Gently fold this mixture into the crabmeat mixture; then add 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, mixing with a light touch, just until combined.
Form 8 patties, using 1/2 cup of the crabmeat mixture for each. The patties should be made into ovals about 1/2 inch thick and 31/2 inches long. Coat the patties with the remaining bread crumbs and place them on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. Add 4 of the crab cakes at a time. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Adjust the heat as you cook so that the fat maintains a steady gentle sizzle. Gently flip the crab cakes with a spatula and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Serve hot |
