Serving size: 3 Leanest

Per serving:
One Leanest Serving
3 condiments
1 fat serving

The crab cake can be served with ½ tablespoon of mayonnaise to supply the second fat serving.

Ingredients:
1 3/4 pounds Dungeness crab meat (or Blue for East Coast folks)
1 tablespoon small diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon small diced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 ½ tablespoon heavy mayonnaise
2 eggs 3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
10 sprays pam cooking spray

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients, except oil and Mustard Sauce until blended. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. With a tablespoon, carefully spoon poker-chip size mini-cakes into the pan. (The batter will be very loose since there are no bread crumbs, but once the egg in the mix starts to cook they will hold together fine.) Cook on 1 side until firm, about 2 minutes, and then flip and cook for about 1 more minute. Cook in batches as necessary. Serve with a sauce that has 1 carbohydrate or less per serving. Or ½ tablespoon mayo.

I don't see mustard sauce or egg in the ingredients. Can you please explain? I would love to make these! Thanks

And what is "heavy" mayonnaise?

Leonela looks like there's a line return missing, the 6th line says:
2 eggs 3 teaspoons baking powder

as for "heavy mayo" i would assume it means regular and not "lite"

enjoy!

Still wondering--- what is the reference to mustard about?

how many serving in this recipe

There is actually a "heavy" mayonnaise often used in restaurants. I used to get mine at Gordon's food stores. The only problem is, I have never seen it in a small, regular family-sized container. Rather than buy a gallon, I'd just use regular mayo.

My guess is that the mustard sauce is what you might serve it with while eating it.

Can someone please tell me what the mystery mustard sauce is???

sometimes on the East Coast we add mustard/dry mustard to our crab cakes. That's the only thing I can think of.
