Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 225 g white crab meat
- 225 g brown crab meat
- 3 or more thick slices of stale wholemeal bread, crusts removed and made into breadcrumbs. A food processor with a metal blade is marvellous for this.
- 2 heaped tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 heaped teaspoons hot English mustard or 2 teaspoons of mustard powder, mixed with a little water.
- Flour or cornmeal
- 2 beaten eggs
- 10-12 rounded tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 50 g butter
Method
- Mix the crab, wholemeal breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and English mustard thoroughly in a bowl.
- Divide the mixture into 6 and form into rounds of about 2 cm thick (see Chef's notes below).
- Put some flour on a plate, pour the egg onto another plate and the breadcrumbs onto a third plate.
- Dust the crab cakes firstly in flour, then coat in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Leave to rest in the freezer for an hour or so.
- Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan to a medium heat and cook the crab cakes for about 4 minutes on each side.
Serving suggestions
Serve with tomato sauce and/or salad.
Chef's notes
The consistency of the crab cakes should be fairly firm, which is why the bread quantity is not specific. You need to get the mixture so that you can easily shape them without them falling apart.
