This is a special treat we have every once in a while. It's also good with chicken!

1/4tsp dry mustard
2tbsp mayo
1tbsp worcesterchire sauce
1/2tsp salt
1tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 chopped roasted red bell pepper
1 egg, beaten
1/2C + dried bread crumbs
Butter for frying

Put everything(except butter) in a bowl.

Mix it up.

Add more bread crumbs to make it the right consistency.

Melt some butter in a pan.(can you tell I took a lot of pictures of this one?)

While that's melting, form the crab mixture into cakes.

Put them in the pan and cook, at medium high, for about 7 minutes. Check to make sure the bottom is nicely browned before flipping over.

Fry for another 5 minutes or so. Check them again for brownness. Serve 'em up!

I made a remoulade sauce and some cole slaw.

The remoulade consists of:
mayo
ketchup
worcestershire sauce
horseradish
lemon juice
salt and pepper

I make no measurements. It's all by taste.
