1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon flour (all purpose, plain)

Instructions

Notes

Very nice served with a side salad and some warm crusty bread.

To make homemade breadcrumbs simple place a slice or two of whole wheat bread in a food processor or blender and whiz on high for one minute.

Crab meat is easier to digest and leaner than beef. The chili gives these crab cakes a second healthy kick. This recipe is easy and quick to prepare, you can make it one of your healthier choices.
