After several years of trying to concoct the PERFECT crabcake, last night's entry was THE ONE! The secret ingredient? (drum roll, please)
Toad Sweat Key Lime Dessert Hot Sauce!
It provided a hit of hot, with a bit of lime tang and slight sweetness. Recipe follows:
1 lb jumbo lump crab meat
1 egg
3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 T mayonnaise
1 T brown mustard
1 T melted butter
1 T Toad Sweat Key Lime Dessert Hot Sauce
1 tsp parsley flakes
2 tsp Old Bay
1/2 C pulverized Ritz crackers
Mix well everything except the crab and crackers. Stir in crackers. Add crab and mix lightly with your hands so you don't break up the crab lumps. Shape into 3 or 4 rounded cakes - not baseballs but not flat, either. Heat olive oil in a fry pan on medium until hot. Add cakes and fry on both sides until golden brown.
