Directions

  3. Process crab cake binder ingredients:
  4. Put the egg yolk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, mustard, paprika, thyme, celery seeds and black pepper into the food processor. Pulse until blended.
  5. While the motor is running slowly add a thin stream of olive oil through the feed tube until the sauce emulsifies.
  6. Remove from food processor to a large bowl.
  7. Make crab cake mixture: To the large bowl with the sauce, stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup of parsley. Gently fold in the cracked crab meat. Do not over mix! Gently fold in half of the breadcrumb mixture.
  8. Make patties, dredge in remaining breadcrumbs: Carefully form six crab cakes patties. Lightly dredge them in the remaining breadcrumbs.
  9. Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
