Ingredients:





     2 c  Crab meat


     3    Green onions; thinly sliced


     2    Eggs; beaten


     1 tb Worcestershire sauce


     1 ts Hot sauce


     1 tb Cajun seasoning


     4 tb Mayonnaise


     1 c  Fine fresh bread crumbs;


          -(plus extra for coating)


          Olive oil for cooking






 In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except the crab meat and mix


 well. Add the crab and continue mixing gently, trying not to break the crab


 meat up too badly. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator


 for about one hour. In a large heavy skillet heat about 1/4 inch of olive


 oil over moderate heat. Make a half dollar sized patty of the rab mixture


 approximately 1/2 inch thick and coat it evenly on all sides with the bread


 crumbs. Saute on both sides until golden brown, being careful not to let it


 burn. Remove and set aside on paper towels. Continue until all the crab


 mixture is used. Makes approximately 36 cakes. Serve hot or cold with hot


 sauce, lemon wedges, tartar sauce or red cocktail sauce.


 


 NOTES :      If using as a main course this will serve about 6 people with


 2 large cakes per serving. I prefer to eat these cold as appetizers. I use


 a habanero type hot sauce.
