"Fab Crab Cakes"

FAB CRAB CAKES
These cakes are Thai inspired and are well worth making if you are a crab cake freak as we all are around here.
Very good with beer, or so I am led to believe.

1.5 lbs crab meat
0.5 cups of fine bread crumbs (Insider secret: get a box of the Red Pepper Stoned Wheat Thins as a substitute. Gives it a bit of the old je ne sais quoi)
2 eggs
1 tsp Vietnamese garlic chilli sauce
1 tbsp minced Kaffir lime leaves (code for a good squeeze of lime juice but sounds fancier)
1 Jalapeno chilli, finely minced
2 green onion, sliced
1 tsp Thai fish sauce
Mix the works together, adding more cracker or bread crumbs to achieve desired firmness. Form into 1.5” crab cakes and then fry in butter or oil
Reheat at 350 degrees for 15 minutes

OPTIONAL FAB CRAB CAKE SALSA
0.5 Red pepper, finely diced
0.5 yellow pepper, finely diced
1 Jalapeno pepper, finely diced
Zest of 1 lime
1 tsp fish sauce
Cilantro to taste
Mix together and serve with Fab Crab Cakes
