5. Form the mixture into ¼-cup oval cakes with your hands and place them on a clean
plate, separating the layers of patties with wax paper.
6. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. When oil
is hot, brown crab cakes in batches, approximately 2 to 4 minutes per side. Crab cakes
should be a deep, golden brown on each side. Add more oil to the pan as needed
— if the pan is dry the crab cakes will burn.
7. Serve immediately. Lemon wedges make a nice accompaniment.

and sauté until the vegetables soften slightly. Remove
the vegetables from the heat and allow them to cool
for a few minutes. Once the vegetables are cool to the
touch, add them to the crabmeat. To the mixture add
the egg, panko, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, Dijon,
seafood seasoning and dash or two of hot sauce, if
using. Very gently mix all ingredients together. (The
best way to mix the crab mixture is with clean hands.
However, you can mix with a spoon. It is important to
mix gently to keep the crabmeat intact.)
