MARYLAND STYLE CRAB CAKES

Category: Fish and Seafood

4 lbs lump crab meat, cleaned
1 1/2 cups green pepper, chopped
2 cups yellow onion, chopped
3 eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp granulated garlic
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bay seasoning
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups bread crumbs

Saute peppers and onions in butter until onions are transparent. Completely cool mixture before adding to the crab meat. Add remaining ingredient except for the bread crumbs, stirring lightly to keep crab lumps together. Add the bread crumbs slowly until most of the moisture is soaked up. Scoop into 2-oz portions and form into cakes, then lightly press into toasted bread crumbs. Saute in oil at 350 degrees until cakes are brown and heated in middle.
