It's been a while since I've cooked something new and worthy of posting and I'm glad I finally did! These crab cakes didn't turn out like the picture on the EatingWell website and they didn't stick together as nicely as I would have hoped, but they sure did taste great! I was really surprised how much my husband and I enjoyed them…nice surprise.
Pre-shredded crab was a wonderful find! It made the cooking process much faster.
I think whole wheat bread is sometimes hit or miss on wether it tastes good or not…well this was definitely a hit! So glad I bought it instead of regular burger buns.
And the final product!
1 pound crabmeat (I used shredded imitation crab)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
2 tbs minced chives
1 tbs dijon mustard
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/4 tsp salt
4 dashes hot sauce (Crystal is our fave)
1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs butter
Directions:
Mix all but the last two ingredients in a large bowl. Form into 6 patties. (Make sure they are packed well or else they will fall apart)
Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter stops foaming. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
To Make Burgers:
Buns (hamburger, rolls or sandwich buns)
Slices of red onion
Broccoli slaw
Creamy chipotle sauce (plain greek yogurt mixed with smoked chipotle sauce)
