226 g canned chunk crabmeat, drained 8 oz
250 ml Ricotta cheese 1 cup
250 ml breadcrumbs 1 cup
125 ml sliced green onions 1/2 cup
30 ml mayonnaise 2 tbsp
2 ml dry mustard 1/2 tsp
2 ml lemon juice 1/2 tsp
2 ml cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp
2 ml garlic powder 1/2 tsp
2 ml ground black pepper 1/4 tsp
soda crackers, crushed
5 ml vegetable oil 1 tsp
250 ml plain yogurt 1 cup
15 ml fresh lime juice 1 tbsp
5 ml lime zest 1 tsp
5 ml honey 1 tsp
60 ml chopped fresh cilantro 1/4 cup

Instructions

Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together crabmeat, Ricotta cheese, breadcrumbs, green onions, mayonnaise, dry mustard, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and black pepper. Using a 1/3 cup of the crabmeat mixture, form eight patties into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Coat the patty with crushed crackers.

Step 2
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Fry cakes, covered, for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 3
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, honey and chopped cilantro. Serve alongside warm crab cakes.

Tips

If you want your crab cakes to be a bit crispier, bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 375°F (190°C) after pan-frying.
