Well, it is homecoming weekend, and we are hosting Maryland. I have tickets to the game, but my friend and I are going to another buddy's tailgate. I am bringing crab cakes since we are playing the terps. The tailgate we are going to has a large grill that I can cook on with a skillet, which helps. I will prepare everything the night before, and just take the stuff down in a cooler ready to fry up.
Crab Cakes:
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 smaller red pepper, finely chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup mayo (I use helmans)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon old bay
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 lb crabmeat (I never buy canned)
2 tablespoons butter (may need more than this)
olive oil (to saute veggies)
Add breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, old bay, lemon juice, celery, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and egg to the crab. Mix lightly until all ingredients are mixed together, but do not over mix.
Sautee onion, pepper, and garlic in olive oil, then add to crab meat mixture and mix some more.
Use a 1/3 cup measure to portion out 6 crab cakes, each 3/4-1" thick. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
In a heavy skillet (preferably a cast iron skillet) heat butter, and fry crab cakes until browned on both sids, about 5 minutes on each side.
