Mexicali Crab Cakes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons stick margarine
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 pound lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed
- 1 (8 3/4-ounce) can no-salt-added whole-kernel corn, drained
- 1 cup finely crushed cornflakes
- Cooking spray
- 1 1/4 cups cocktail sauce or medium-hot salsa
- Cilantro sprigs (optional)
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0.
- Melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add celery, bell pepper, and jalapeno; saute 3 minutes or until tender. Cool.
- Combine mayonnaise and the next 5 ingredients (mayonnaise through egg) in a large bowl. Add celery mixture, breadcrumbs, green onions, crabmeat, and corn, and stir well. Divide crabmeat mixture into 10 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Dredge patties in cornflakes.
- Place patties on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450u0b0 for 15 minutes; turn patties over, and bake an additional 10 minutes or until golden. Serve crab cakes with cocktail sauce, and garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
