Life has been hectic with getting married and everything. All the parents where here to help us celebrate our wedding, and I got to practice some of my blog posts on them which was really nice.
We had many nice meals including some fresh crab from Pike Place Market which is what inspired this blog post.
I am probably going to go away from Baking sweet things for a little while and work more on the cooking end of things due to my new get health kick before christmas.
I have this post and another one ready to come up to but I will leave them a few days apart to keep me busy.
You can use pretty much any type of crab you like for this we used Dungeness but Brown Crab or what ever is local is fine for you to use.
Ingredients:
2 Fully Cooked Dungeness Crab (de-shelled and use the meat only)
3-4 Medium sized Potatoes
1 Small Chilli
1/2 Bell Pepper (color of your choice)
5-6 Scallion Stalks (green onion)
Breadcrumbs
2 Eggs whisked
Oil for Frying
Method:
- Peel and boil the potatoes for making mashed potato
- Dice the chilli, bell pepper and scallions up nice a small
- Once the Potatoes are ready mash them up with a potato masher and mix in the crab meat and the diced vegtables.
- Shape the mixture into small flattish balls and then dip into the egg mix and them roll in the breadcrumbs until completely coated.
- fry the crab cakes on a frying pan with a small amount of oil on both sides until golden browned.
- Serve up with sweet chilli sauce or seafood sauce and enjoy.
