Mom's Crab Cakes

While Maryland Crab Cakes are the most popular style of dish. I had to just about twist my mothers' arm in order to get her to share her favorite recipe with me. My mother is originally from the South, so she likes a flavorful type of cuisine. Now, I know what gives her Crab Cakes that zesty and flavorful taste. This is going to be a fan favorite. So take good notes, and make my Momma proud.

2 tablespoons Hellman's Relish
1 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs
1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon Salt

In a mixing bowl, combine each of the ingredients. Gently adding each item,one after the other. Finishing with squeezing the juice from the half lemon into the mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove product from the refrigerator, form into patties. Place patties into preheat olive oil and cook until golden brown on both sides. Serve with a small Caesar or garden salad. Note: When you are frying the patties, always use the least amount of oil as possible. Crab Cakes were designed to be eaten as a meal of lighter and not as heavy.
