Crab cakes are one of those dishes you either love or you don\u2019t. I happen to love them, and living close to Baltimore (the unofficial \u201cCrab Cake Capital of the World\u201d) gives me access to some of the best crabby patties known to man.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d never considered putting watermelon on a crab cake until I saw this recipe. Now it\u2019s all I can think about!<\/p>\n

Crab Cakes with Watermelon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

8 ounces cooked, shelled crabmeat, drained
\n2 eggs lightly beaten
\n1 tablespoon mayonnaise
\n1\/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
\n1\/4 cup drained sweet pickle relish
\n1 serving butter for frying
\n1 cup minced and drained watermelon
\n1\/2 cup bottled chili relish<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS<\/p>\n

In a bowl, mix the crab, eggs, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs and sweet pickle relish. Heat a generous amount of butter (you may use a combination of canola oil and butter if desired) in a 10- to 12-inch saut\u00e9 pan over medium-high heat. Using 2 teaspoons as tools, drop small dollops (about 1 teaspoonful) of the crab mixture into the butter and fry, turning once, until golden brown on each side. Fry the puffs in batches keeping them warm on a baking sheet in the oven as they come out of the pan. Mix together the watermelon and relish and serve with the crab cakes for dipping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
