Yummy. Low fat and low calories

Ingredients

Crab Cakes

1 Red bell pepper seeded & minced

3/4 c. Nonfat sour cream

1/4 c. Seasoned breadcrumbs

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

2 tsp. Creole seasoning (I use Old Bay)

1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper

1 lb. Lump crabmeat

1/4 c. All purpose flour

1 tbsp. Olive oil

Tartar Sauce

3/4 c. Nonfat mayonnaise

2 tbsp. Drained capers

1 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400

In a large bowl, combine bell pepper, sour cream, bread cumbs, mustard, creole seasoning & pepper. Mix well. Add crabmeat and gently mix together being careful not to break up lumps of crab.

Shape mixture into 4 cakes, each about 1 in thick and 3 inches wide. (If crab cakes tend to crumble, press misture together tightly and refrigerate 30 mins. to 1 hour.) Place flour in a shallow dish and add cakes turning to coat both sides.

Heat oil in large ovenproof skilled over medium heat. Saute cakes 2-3 mins. per side or until golden brown. Transfer pan to over and bake 20 mins.

Meanwhile make tartar sauce - combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Refrigerate or serve immediately with crab cakes.

Cook's Notes

These do tend to fall apart. I put them in the freezer before making pattys out of the mixture. Even if they do fall apart, they are good!
