Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Lump crab meat
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 2 large Eggs
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 5 ml Worcestershire sauce
- 15 ml Lemon juice
- 15 grams Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 60 ml Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 120 grams Tartar sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, eggs, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat too much.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties about 1 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
While the crab cakes are cooling slightly, lightly toast the sandwich buns in a dry skillet or toaster for added texture.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Place a crab cake on top, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Crab Cakes Sandwiches!
