Crab Cakes

This is a budget friendly dinner

and you'll eat up the FLAVOR!

This recipe makes 9 crab cakes

to serve 4.

Crab Cakes

2 pkgs. frozen imitation crab meat

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 sleeve crackers (Saltines, Ritz, etc. You pick your favorite.)

4 eggs

2 Tbs. parsley flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

Defrost the crab meat and chop into

bite-sized chunks.

Crush a sleeve of crackers

to make 1 1/3 cups.

I used Townhouse crackers because I

had them in the cupboard.  Any cracker will

be delicious.

Whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, parsley flakes

and salt and pepper.

Stir in the crab meat.

Stir in the cracker crumbs.

Spoon mixture onto a plate in the shape of a patty.

Cover with a sheet of waxed paper,

and spoon on another layer of patties.

You should have three layers with three patties each.

Cover the top with waxed paper

and refrigerate for one hour.

While the patties are chilling,

mix up my easy and SCRUMPTIOUS

tartar sauce recipe

Fry the patties in a bit of olive oil...

Until golden brown like this:

Serve with the tartar sauce.

Now that the kids are away at college.

I make the full recipe and heat up

the leftovers for lunch the next day.

YUMMMMY!!!
