Crab Cakes

Ingredients:

Crab Cakes

1 lb lump crab meat, shredded (canned is fine)

1/3 cup flax seed meal

2 tbsp coconut flour

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp mustard powder

1 tsp garlic powder

3/4 tsp coarsely ground pepper

1 large stalk celery, finely minced

1/2 red pepper, finely minced

4 scallions, white and light green parts only, finely minced

2 large eggs

1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

3 tbsp butter for frying

Cajun Mayo

1/3 cup mayonnaise

2 tsp hot sauce (Frank's)

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

Pinch cayenne pepper

Preparation:

Crab Cakes: In a large bowl, combine crab meat, flax seed meal, coconut flour, salt, mustard powder, garlic powder, and pepper.  Mix thoroughly, breaking up any lumps of crab with the back of a wooden spoon.  

Add celery, red pepper and scallions and mix to combine.

Stir in eggs and Worcestershire sauce until mixture comes together like a dough.

Form by hand into 10 even patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick.

In a large skillet, heat half of the butter over medium heat until melted.  Add 4 or 5 of the crab cakes and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Repeat with remaining crab cakes. 

For the Cajun mayo, whisk mayonnaise, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning and cayenne in a small bowl to combine.  Serve alongside crab cakes.
