Crab Cakes

Makes 8 crab cakes

Ingredients:
250 grams of crab meat shredded
5 inch piece of a baguette or 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat or whatever you like) broken up into pieces
1 dried chili or chili flakes
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 spring onion chopped finely
3-4 garlic greens chopped or 2 cloves of garlic chopped
1 tsp chives
salt to taste
2 eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil

Method:

1. In a food processor grind the bread until you get smooth breadcrumbs.
2. Add to the bread crumbs all the rest of the ingredients except the crab and eggs and blend in the blender till the ingredients and breadcrumbs are nicely mixed up.
3. In a bowl add the bread crumb mixture along with the crab and mix so that the mixture is well mixed - do this by hand.
4. Add eggs and mix into the crab mixture so it starts to stick together.
5. Make 8 small same size patties out of the mixture.
6. Heat the oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add the crab patties and fry on MEDIUM until one side is brown, flip and brown on the other side as well.
7. When both sides are brown, take the patties off the pan and place on paper towels for the extra oil to absorb.
8. Serve hot.
