Crab Cake Sandwich

Makes a great sandwich, or stand alone meal. The pancetta is optional, but it adds a little texture to the sandwich. I used a pre-made remoulade sauce, but you can make this from scratch also.

Prep Time: 30 mins.
Cooking Time: 20 mins.
Servings: 4-6



Ingredients:
 
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Tabasco
2 chopped green onions
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup diced roasted red pepper
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup jumbo lump crabmeat
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup peanut oil
4-6 slices pancetta
6 ciabatta rolls
4 Tbsp remoulade sauce or dressing 


Directions:


Combine mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard and Tabasco in a large bowl and mix well. 

Add green onions, dill, parsley, bread crumbs, diced red pepper, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients well.

Gently fold in crabmeat and mix gently trying not to break up the crabmeat. 

Carefully divide mixture into 4-6 patties and dust with flour. 

Place patties into saucepan with peanut oil and saute on medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes. 

Carefully turn, add pancetta to frying pan and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on the other side.

Top each crab cake with a piece of pancetta and serve on a ciabatta roll with remoulade sauce.
