1 small red onion, finely diced
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce

Roasted Red-Pepper Dip for Crab Cakes

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, salt, and pepper; saute until the vegetables have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer the cooled vegetable mixture to a medium bowl. Add crabmeat, breadcrumbs, basil, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs, and stir to combine well. With your hands, shape mixture into 2-inch patties.
  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. In a large saute pan, heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 8 to 10 crab cakes, and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Transfer crab cakes to a baking sheet, and keep warm in the oven. Repeat, cooking the remaining crab cakes, adding remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil as needed. Serve hot with roasted red-pepper dip.

I'm not sure about the roasted red pepper dip. I might try it with a different sauce.

I'm allergic to crab, so I substituted shrimp in this recipe. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the crab cakes turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.

These crab cakes were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

The roasted red pepper dip is the perfect complement to the crab cakes. It's creamy, tangy, and just a little bit spicy.
