Crab Cakes from Cooking for Two, 2009

If you take a brown bag lunch to work, definitely make extra of this recipe!  The crab cakes came out great, but with one complaint: we didn't have any left-overs. This recipe was simple, as expected, and delicious.




Substitutions/alterations used:
-Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise
-Less lemon zest with slightly more lemon juice
-1 full slice of bread hand-ripped into small pieces (so the food processor didn't need to be washed)
-No parsley (due to allergies)


Recommendations:
-The recipe could tolerate more bread, although definitely not needed: an easy way to wind up with extra crab cakes to take for lunch
-Make extra dipping sauce (start the mayo mixture with extra ingredients).
