Crab Cakes

Written By: Chris - Mar• 15•12

I like ordering Crab Cakes when we go out to dinner.  I find that so many people have different ideas about how they should taste and have also noticed the texture can be very different, depending on where you might find them on the menu Download live video from facebook! I watch the Food Network regularly and many of my favorite Chef’s have various recipes for assembling them.

I was inspired recently when I found a large lovely one pound can of refrigerated Crab Meat at Costco.  It was almost $30 for the can, but went for it anyways…  here is my version powerpoint foil sdesign for free!
I must say, we loved them!

Gently fold in Crab meat and crushed crackers.  This is the quality crab meat I was able to find in the Midwest Costco adobe photoshop elements 10 kostenlos!

Form six patties, which will be very moist.  To keep my weight watchers points low, I chose to dip the cakes in a flour and Panko crumb mixture rather than the traditional method of mixing in bread crumbs.  I fond that I used less carbohydrates this way monster legends herunterladen.

 

Place in fridge for at least a half an hour to let them firm up.  I chose a combination of vegetable and grape seed oil for frying.  Fry over medium heat in a large saute pan for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until browned.  Set on paper towels to absorb any access fat windows 10 herunterladen microsoft kostenlos.
