Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes. Set aside and let cool for 5 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, green onions, cheese, parsley, mayonnaise, and 3\/4 cups of the bread crumbs. Add the mixed vegetables and mix well. Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions and form them into 3\/4-inch-thick cakes (patties). In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the water. In a second bowl, place the remaining 3\/4 cup bread crumbs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Heat the 1 cup of oil to 360 degrees in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Dredge the cakes first in the flour, tapping off any excess, then in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the cakes in the seasoned breadcrumbs, coating them evenly. Gently lay the cakes, 3 to 4 at a time, in the oil and fry until lightly golden, about 4 minutes on each side.\u00a0 You can serve immediately or place in a warming pan until all of your\u00a0guests can be served.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a recipe for Dungeness crab cakes that my cruising guests beg for: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup yellow onions, finely chopped 1\/2 cup celery, finely chopped 1\/4 cup yellow bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped Salt Cayenne &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/?p=221\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2dWYW-3z","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=221"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":274,"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221\/revisions\/274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nordicquest.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
