Spicy Dungeness Crab Cakes 

This recipe makes 4 crab cakes and it doesn’t take more than 30 minutes to make if you buy the fresh crabmeat. Make sure your crabmeat has large pieces in it. Carefully pick over the crabmeat to remove any small pieces of shells. I finely grind the saltine crackers in my blender.

Directions:

Heat one  tablespoon of butter in a frying pan and sauté the onions, peppers, and celery over low heat, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened.

Whisk the egg, créme fraîche, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and salt in a bowl. Now stir in the green onions and ¼ cup of the ground crackers. Carefully fold in the crabmeat.
 

Form into 4 cakes and coat with ground saltine crackers. There will be some leftover ground crackers.

Heat the oil and 2 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan. Fry the crab cakes until golden brown for about 8 minutes, turning them over once.
