Southern Crab Cakes with Rémoulade Dipping Sauce
Yield: Makes 8 servings
A favorite on every coast, this Southern-style crab cake appetizer is served with a low-fat version of the classic New Orleans sauce. The crabmeat mixture may be covered and chilled up to four hours before cooking.
Ingredients:
10
ounces fresh lump crabmeat
1-1/2
cups fresh white or sourdough bread crumbs, divided
1/4
cup chopped green onions
1/2
cup fat-free or reduced-fat mayonnaise, divided
1
egg white, lightly beaten
2
tablespoons coarse grain or spicy brown mustard, divided
3/4
teaspoon hot pepper sauce, divided
2
teaspoons olive oil, divided

Roll crab cakes lightly in remaining 3/4 cup bread crumbs.
2.
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add 1 teaspoon oil. Add 4 crab cakes; cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer to serving platter; keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and crab cakes.
