    Recipe



    TO MAKE THE CRAB CAKES:
    Stir together 2 cups cracker crumbs and next 9 ingredients; fold in crabmeat. Shape into 8 (3-inch) patties; dredge in remaining 1 cup cracker crumbs.

    Melt butter in oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add crab cakes; cook 4 minutes on each side or until golden.

    Serve with Lemon-Dill Mayonnaise and Red Bell Pepper Sauce. Garnish if desired.

    TO MAKE THE LEMON DILL MAYONNAISE:
    Combine all ingredients. Chill.

    TO MAKE THE RED BELL PEPPER SAUCE:
    Place bell pepper on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 15 minutes or until pepper is blistered, turning once. Place pepper in a heavy duty zip lock plastic bag; seal and let stand 10 minutes to loosen skin. Peel pepper; discard seeds. Process pepper and 1/4 cup mayonnaise in a food processor until smooth. Stir in remaining mayonnaise and other ingredients. Chill.
