Ingredients:

  • 1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Roasted Pepper Chive Aioli:

  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Drain the crab meat and pat it dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, scallions, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix well.
  3. Form the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the crab cakes to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until heated through.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the roasted pepper chive aioli. Roast the red bell pepper over an open flame or under the broiler until the skin is blackened all over. Place the pepper in a paper bag for 10 minutes to steam. Peel off the skin, remove the stem and seeds, and chop the pepper into small pieces.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the roasted red pepper, mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Serve the crab cake bites with the roasted pepper chive aioli on the side for dipping.
