About

These crispy crab cakes make a perfect light lunch with salad, or you can make lots of small ones to serve as appetizers at a Fourth of July barbecue or as part of a summer picnic.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic

Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, then add the capsicum and spring onion and cook for 2 minutes, or until soft. Transfer to a plate and leave for 20 minutes to cool completely. When cool, stir in the crab meat, Tabasco, parsley, breadcrumbs, mustard and some salt and black pepper. Add the egg and bind together.
