Crab Cakes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup green pepper, finely diced
1 lb crab meat
2 lg eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cup coarse ground bread crumbs
salt and pepper
Directions:
Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a large skillet and cook red and green peppers until they are tender, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and cool.
Mix crab meat, eggs, cooked peppers, and 2 tbl of bread crumbs in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Shape into 8 cakes. Place on a wax-paper lined plate and chill up to several hours.
Heat oven to 375F. Coat crab cakes in bread crumbs on all sides. Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add crab cakes in a single layer. Cook over stovetop until nicely brown on the bottom, about two minutes. Carefully turn the cakes over and then place in oven. Bake until they are golden on all sides, approximately 10-12 minutes.
Add your choice of sauce overtop and serve.
