ALL SAINTS SUMMER SUPPER MARYLAND CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Pick through your crab; there are ALWAYS shells missed at the plant (they pick fast and furiously!).
• Mix all ingredients EXCEPT the breadcrumbs. You can beat the egg before adding, but I scramble it a bit in the bowl then use my hands to get a consistent mix.
• Add the breadcrumbs a bit at a time. The goal is to have just enough to bind the mix into patties, but not too much!
• GENTLY form the mixture into patties, about 31/2 inches in diameter, and 3/4 inch thick. Note that you can make them smaller, if they are appetizers. At this stage, you can refrigerate them; doing so allows a little bit of flavor blending to occur (a good thing).
• Get a cast iron skillet hot, and melt some olive oil, then butter in the pan.
• Saute over medium heat, flipping once, so that both side are a golden brown.
• OPTIONAL Step: after you flip once, add some red wine to the pan, it adds a light glaze to the cakes, and a nice flavor!
• Serve with tartar sauce, as entree, appetizer, or sandwich.
