Crab Cakes For Diabetics

Yield: 4 servings

The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes

Ingredients:

1/2 pound lump crabmeat (fresh, frozen, or canned and drained),

flaked

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon margarine, melted

1 large egg, beaten, or 1/4 cup egg substitute

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/8 teaspoon salt

Pinch of cayenne pepper

2 dashes of hot pepper sauce

3/4 cup soft bread crumbs or 1-1/2 pieces white bread, finely

crumbled

1 small lemon, cut in wedges

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400*F. Prepare a cookie sheet with nonstick

pan spray. In a medium bowl, combine the crabmeat, mustard,

margarine, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper,

and pepper sauce. Add 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs; mix well. If

time permits, chill for an hour or more. Shape the crab mixture

into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick (use about 1/2 cup mixture

for each). Pat the remaining bread crumbs on all surfaces of the

crab cakes; place the cakes on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake

for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned, turning the

cakes midway through the cooking time. Serve with lemon wedges.
