Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 canned chipotle chile peppers, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
7 medium green onions, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
4 teaspoons prepared mustard
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 cup butter or margarine
6 eggs, beaten
1-1/3 cups fine dry bread crumbs
4 6-ounce cans crabmeat, drained, flaked, and cartilage removed
1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/3 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup cooking oil
Lemon wedges (optional)
Directions
1. For chipotle mayonnaise, stir together mayonnaise or salad dressing, chipotle chile peppers, and garlic. Cover and refrigerate up to 1 week until needed.
2. In a saucepan cook corn, green onions, mustard, coriander, and red pepper in butter or margarine about 5 minutes until corn is tender. Place in a mixing bowl, and add eggs, the 1-1/3 cups bread crumbs, and crabmeat.
3. Shape into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties using about 1/3 cup crab mixture for each. In a shallow dish stir together the 1/3 cup bread crumbs and cornmeal. Coat patties with cornmeal mixture.
4. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add half of the patties. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a 300 degree F oven while frying the remaining patties. Serve warm with Chipotle Mayonnaise and, if desired, lemon wedges. Makes 8 servings (2 cakes with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise per serving).
