Yields1 Serving
 100g white crab meat
 200g brown crab meat
 350g cooked potatoes
 4 spring onions - finely chopped
 tbsp capers - chopped
 25g coriander leaf - chopped
 500g breadcrumbs
 1 lemon - zest and juice
 1/2 tsp - Aleppo chilli flakes
 Salt & Pepper
1

Mash the potatoes and brown crab meat together and add the breadcrumbs.

2
3

Mix together and check consistency which should be firm enough to form into a cake. If it’s too wet add a few more breadcrumbs.

4
5

Fold in the rest of the ingredients.

6
7

Form into crab cakes – approx. 50g (two tbsps.) works well.

8

A small ice-cream scope works well for portioning – or simply use wet hands.

9
10

Flour, egg and breadcrumb.

11
12

Fry, either shallow (and turn over) or deep until the outside is crisp and crunchy.

14

We serve ours with lemon and curried mayo but something along the dill, tartare or gribiche lines would also work
