GLUTEN-FREE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place crackers in a plastic bag and coarsely crush with a rolling pin or bottle. Reserve.
• Place flour in a shallow dish. Add salt, pepper, and paprika, if using. Reserve.
• Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic and sauté for about 4 minutes. Do not brown. Remove from heat and reserve.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine crabmeat, sautéed vegetables, and crushed crackers with egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning. Thoroughly combine using a large spatula.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape crab cakes by grabbing 2 spoonfuls of mixture and making patties with your hands. Place each patty on prepared sheet. Repeat process until you've used all the mixture; you should have 9 crab cakes, or 18 small ones if making appetizers.
• Dust each cake lightly with prepared seasoned flour. Turn cakes and dust on other side.
• Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and add 3 to 4 cakes. Do not overcrowd pan. Allow cakes to brown at the bottom, from 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown other side. Repeat frying process until you've cooked all the cakes.

GLUTEN-FREE CRAB CAKES {DAIRY-FREE}

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, gluten-free Dijon mustard, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, lemon juice, and salt.
• Add the parsley, gluten-free bread crumbs, and then the crab meat on top. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, very gently fold together the ingredients, so you do not break up the crab meat.
• Cover the crab cake mixture with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Spray a baking sheet with gluten-free cooking spray. I used olive oil spray.
• Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, portion the crab cake mixture into 6 mounds on the baking sheet. If you are baking the crab cakes, do not flatten them. Use your hands or a spoon to compact each crab cake. If you are frying the crab cakes you will need to flatten them into patties.
