I had a great weekend....got lots of gardening done...went to the nursery and bought all my annuals...and a few more perennials (which I swore I had enough of and was not going to buy anymore...ha ha). Isn't it funny how you always imagine the plant at the nursery in a most perfect spot in your own garden....even when know you already have lots!!!
On Saturday, I was stumped about lunch, so I decided to make some Cajun crab cakes. These are simple, but they are scrumptious.
Here's my recipe:
Cajun Crab Cakes
1 cup crab meat (or two-170 g cans, well drained, will suffice)
1 1/2 cups crushed unsalted crackers
1 cup light mayo
1/4 cup each (finely diced carrot,red or green
pepper, and green onion)
1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
Sal & pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients and form into desired size.
In a nonstick pan, pour small amount of cooking oil, heat on med-high.
Cook crab cakes, turning only once and adding more oil, if necessary.
Cook until golden brown for about 6 minutes total.
These are a great summertime meal. I have made miniature cakes and used them
for appetizers. It is great to get such a nice treat from a couple tins of
crab meat. (of course, fresh is best)
Here's how mine looked......
