Crab cakes?

Crab cake with a side of spinach

The beauty of being a college senior is that I'm able to live in the sweet new dorms armed with a full kitchen. I love cooking, so I've been trying to make some food. I'll be posting them here for your enjoyment...


Crab cake with spinach

Ingredients (yields 2):

2 oz crab either canned or fresh. In this case, I used canned because fresh was too expensive.
1/2 tsp. mustard
1 1/2 tbs. mayonnaise
4 saltine crackers
1 slice toasted whole wheat bread
1/4 of a red onion
Juice of 1/4 lemon
Paprika
Salt
Pepper
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder
Chili flakes
1 egg
Bread crumbs

Make sure you drain all the liquid from the crabs. Then just mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Seasoning to taste.

Shape into patties and coat with bread crumbs.

Melt a tbs. of butter and a tbs. of olive oil in a non-stick pan. Fry patties. About 4-6 minutes per side on medium high heat.

After you take out the patties, wilt some spinach, season with salt and pepper.

For tartar sauce, just mix some mayo, a little mustard, onions, garlic powder, paprika, juice of 1/4 lemon, and some pickled dill.

Plate, and serve with some toasted bread! I chose to flatten 2 pieces of whole wheat bread on the same pan as the fried stuff so it can crisp up and get some butter. Sprinkle some garlic powder on it.
