Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb lump crabmeat
1/4 medium red onion, finely diced
1/4 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1/4 tsp old bay seasoning
1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
4 1/2 tsp hellmann's mayonnaise
1/4 tsp mccormick's garlic and herb seasoning
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs ( japanese bread crumbs)
2/3 cup crushed macadamia nuts
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions:

Pick through the crabmeat to remove any bits of cartilage or shell.
Drain well.
In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat and the next seven ingredients.
Mix well and let stand for 30 minutes for the flavor to blend.
Place the flour in one bowl, the eggs in another and the bread crumbs mixed with the Macadamia nuts in a third bowl.
Divide the crab mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
(the mixture is light and will separated but don't despair, keep pressing each patty firmly together).
Dip each patty into the flour to coat.
Next dip into the beaten eggs and then roll carefully in the crumb mixture to cover well.
Place on a plate and allow to air dry for 30 minutes.
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
Cook the patties without crowding in the pan until desired browness, turning once.
This may have to be done in batches.
Watch the heat, and reduce if necessary, as the nuts will tend to brown more quickly than the crumbs.
It usually takes about 3 minutes on each side to reach a golden brown and cook through.
Serve with Black Bean Relish (recipe posted separately).
