Crab Cakes
Step by step recipe:
- 2 min.
Put 250 g crab meat into a bowl and pour 2 tablespoons lemon juice over. - 4 min.
- 4 min.
Add the chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise and 1 egg. Salt sparingly and pepper generously. - 2 min.
Mix all this together.
If the mixture is too wet or soft, add more breadcrumbs. - 10 min.
Shape into thick cakes with your hands or, for a more regular shape, use a cutter and a tablespoon. - 30 min.
Use up all the mixture, then refrigerate the prepared crab cakes for at least 30 minutes. This will firm them up so that they do not fall apart during cooking. - 1 min.
Pour 6 tablespoons oil into a frying pan on medium heat. When hot, gently lower in 2 crab cakes. - 10 min.
Fry the crab cakes on both sides until nicely browned. 
Serve with a green salad or coleslaw and a dollop of mayonnaise on top.
Remarks:
For a more robust flavour, you can replace the mayonnaise with a spoonful of mustard.Source:
