Ingredients

- 2 Dashes of Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Red Chili, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- 4 Sprigs Italian Flat Parsley, finely chopped
- 1 Scallion (white part only) finely chopped
- 450 g Lump Crabmeat, picked over to remove cartilage

Method
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mustard, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, large egg, a pinch of sea salt, and some pepper.
Gently fold in the chili, parsley, scallion, crabmeat, and cracker crumbs with a rubber spatula until just combined.
Shape the crab mixture into 10 to 12 pieces patties (about 45 to 50 g each patty).
Heat the oil in a large cast-iron pan or non-stick pan until hot. Lower the heat to medium and shallow fry the crab cakes for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels and serve warm. Serve warm with some lemon wedges and tartar sauce, if desired.
