Recipe from Vince Sarna of Mountainside, N.J.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1-lb can lump crab meat( pick through to remove shells )
  • 3 oz minced onion
  • 2 oz minced celery
  • 2 oz minced red pepper
  • 1 tblsp chopped parsley
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tblsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup bread crumbs ( I use PANKO bread crumbs )
  •  juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 oz white wine
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • paprika ( for dusting crab cakes before baking ) melted butter
  • Opyional: 1 Jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and diced

Directions

In a non-stick pan add two tbsp butter. Sauté the onion, red pepper and celery until translucent, remove from heat and let cool.

In a large bowl, combine  the crab, mayo, mustard, lemon juice, beaten egg and baking powder. Mix together.

When mixed thoroughly add the remaining ingredients, mix thoroughly.

Grease/spray a cookie sheet or baking pan and set the oven at 375 degrees.

Spoon on in approximately 3 oz portions leaving space between each cake as these will expand in the oven. Dust with paprika and drizzle melted butter over each crab cake.

Bake for about 20 minutes until browned.

NOTE: you can also place this on Portabello mushroom

    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse
    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse of a dessert. Quick and easy, with no ice cream maker needed, this dessert may be served as a chilled mousse or frozen completely as a "gelato."

    Celebrate warm weather with nature's sweet berries. Simply served with a light dusting of powdered sugar, this dessert is not a sugar overload, because it relies on the natural sweetness of in-season berries.

    Here is smoky and slightly spicy twist on fried catfish. Instead of coating the catfish in a thick beer batter, I marinate the raw pieces in beer before seasoning them and lightly dredging them in flour
