Crab Cakes with Red Pepper Aioli

Spent Valentines Day teaching my love how to ice skate and finished the night with a nice glass of wine and some crab cakes. Hope you all enjoy the recipe and have a good week! XO

Ingredients:

Crab Cakes:

16 oz lump crab meat

½ cup bread crumbs (seafood seasoning or planko)

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 cup of bell peppers (any mixture of red, yellow, or orange), diced

4 green onions, chopped

1 egg

1 clove garlic, minced

¼ cup mayo

 

Aioli:

1 roasted red pepper

2 gloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine all crab cake ingredients minus the bread crumbs in bowl. After mixed well, roll crab cake mix in bread crumbs and shape into small patties. Cook on stovetop with olive oil until both sides are browned. Transfer to baking sheet and bake patties in oven for 10 minutes. To make red pepper aioli, simply combine ingredients in food processor until you get your desired texture. Serve alone or on a bed of lettuce with your favorite side veggies.
