Ingredients
- 2 ounce cans fancy white lump crab meat drained
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 small green onion trimmed and diced (white and green parts), I used culinary scissors
- 2 tablespoons Pimentos diced, sold jarred
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs for the mixture, regular style, not panko (I buy 365 brand)
- 1/3 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs to coat the crab cakes
- olive oil for cooking
For Serving
- greens
- sour cream
- lemon cut into wedges
- Pimentos
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the crab, eggs, green onion, pimentos, lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs until well combined. Use your hands to form into six 3-inch cakes, squeezing out (and discarding) any excess liquid as you go.
- Spread out the remaining 1/3 cup breadcrumbs on a plate and roll each cake around until well coated. Set aside.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the cakes (in batches, if necessary) until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve over greens and topped with a dollop of sour cream and a lemon wedge on the side.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible. Omit sour cream to make dairy-free.
