Crab Cakes
Makes about 18 crab cakes
16 ounces lump crab meat
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 green onions, sliced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs, plus extra for dredging
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1½ teaspoons crab seasoning
Hot sauce (optional)
Lemon wedges (optional)
Olive oil for spraying
1. Look through crabmeat to make sure there are no shells and reserve in
refrigerator.
2. Put a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the pan is hot
and the olive oil shimmers across the pan, add the peppers, onions and garlic.
Sweat for at least 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly; stir in the salt.
3. Remove the vegetables from the heat and allow them to cool for a few
minutes. Once cool, add the vegetables to the crabmeat. Add the eggs,
panko, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, Dijon, and crab seasoning, and dash
or two of hot sauce, if desired.
4. Very carefully mix all ingredients together. The best way to mix the crab
mixture is with clean hands, however, you can mix it with a spoon. It is
important to mix carefully to keep the crabmeat intact.
5. Form the mixture into ¼-cup cakes with your hands and place them on a
clean plate, separating the layers of patties with wax paper. Cover with
plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour before cooking.
6. Once ready, dredge the crab cakes in remaining panko crumbs. Place the
AirFryer Basket on the Baking/Drip Pan. Put the cakes in the basket and
spray liberally with olive oil.
7. Put the assembled basket in the upper position. Select Airfry and set
temperature to 400°F for 10 minutes.
8. Serve immediately.
