Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 16- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley ((replace with chives or spring onions/scallions if you like))
- 1 medium egg
- 450 g (1lb) white chunky crab meat ((see notes))
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 70 ml (4 tbsp + 2 tsp) mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 25 g (1/2 cup) panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp oil (altogether (1.5 tbsp for each batch))
- 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning ((see notes))
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Add the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper and parsley to a large bowl and mix together with a fork or whisk to combine.
- Step 2
Add the crab and panko and gently stir together. Try not to break up the lumps of crab too much. If the mixture is too wet to shape, stir in a little more panko.
- Step 3
Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking parchment.
- Step 4
Shape the mixture into 16 small patties (see notes) on the baking sheet. I use a cookie scoop or small sauce ladle to scoop it out, then press it out onto the baking sheet. Use your hands to push the mixture together.
- Step 5
Cover the tray with clingfilm and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up.
- Step 6
Add 1.5 tbsp of the oil to a large frying pan or skillet and heat over a medium heat.
- Step 7
Add half of the patties and cook for 6-7 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked throughout.
- Step 8
Once cooked remove them from the pan with a spatula and place on a warm plate or tray and place in a low oven to keep warm whilst we make the second batch.
- Step 9
Add the remaining 1.5 tbsp of oil to the pan and add the remaining patties to the pan cooking for 6-7 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked throughout.
- Step 10
Serve with lemon wedges and Tartare sauce, garlic mayo or hot mayo (mayo with hot sauce).
