My Special Crab Cakes with Roasted Garlic Aioli


One pound Crab Meat
1/4 cup Green Onion finely chopped
1/4 cup Italian Parsley finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper finely chopped
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
2 Eggs
1 tablespoon Mayo
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt, Pepper to taste
2 tablespoon olive oil for frying

Heat the oil in the skillet on medium-high heat. Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Shape crab cakes into small size patties. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on the first side and 2-3 minutes on the other side, until they are golden brown.

*You can find canned crab meat at Trader Joes or Costco

Roasted Garlic Aioli

4 Garlic cloves that have been roasted in the olive oil
2 Egg Yolks
1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Juice of one Lemon
Salt, Pepper to taste

Run your knife roughly through the garlic cloves. Add 2 egg yolks and whisk together.
Then gradually start whisking olive oil into the egg mixture until it thickens and combines together.
Add lemon juice, salt and pepper. If needed, thin it out with a little bit of water .
