Crabby Patties

This turned out decently...I haven't ever made anything like this before so I didn't execute this to perfection.  The salad side dish was delicious though!!

Crab Cakes
Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 2 lage eggs, beaten
  • 2 Tbs parsley
  • 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning (I used more...)
  • 2 tsp mustard (I used horseradish mustard...)
  • 2 tsp dry mustard
  • 2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 lbs lump crab meat or salmon (I recommend either getting flakes or chopping up the meat b/c I used lump and it didn't hold well together as a patty)
  • 1/2 C Mayo
  • bread crumbs
  • flour

  1. Beat eggs & add parsley, Old Bay, mustards, Worcestershire, lemon juice, salt & pepper.
  2. Combine with meat and mayo, then add just enough bread crumbs to get things to hold together.
  3. Shape into cakes or balls, dip or roll in flour.
  4. Heat oil and/or butter in a pan and cook cakes until browned on each side.

Snap Pea Salad
Time: at least an hour for refrigeration

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 lb sugar snap peas
  • 1 bunch radishes, trimmed
  • 2 Tbs fresh chives or green onions (I used a bit more...)
  • 1/2 C peas
  • 3 Tbs olive oil
  • 1 Tbs cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • salt and pepper

  1. Boil a pot of water and put snap peas in for 2-3 minutes.  Drain immediately and put in a bowl of ice water.
  2. Trim the radishes and slice thinly or cut into wedges. 
  3. Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix until well coated with dressing.
