Maryland Blue Crab Cakes -— delicately fry with very little binder....it’s a CRAB cake...w/ Old Bay seasoning.
Go Ravens !
And here is an awesome Super Bowl Quality dish that is Low Carb for Diabetics. It’s to die for.
http://lusciouslowcarb.blogspot.com/2010/11/comforting-ground-beef-and-cabbage.html
MARYLAND CRAB CAKES:
2 eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp Old Bay or Wye River
1/2 tsp ground white pepper (or black if you have it)
2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp dry mustard
1 lb lump crab meat (go through it with fingers to remove any shell)
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs (not the Italian)
3-4 tbs vegetable oil
In a mixing bow, combine eggs, mayonnaise, Old bay and pepper. Add Worcestershire sauce and mustard: whisk well until blended. Add crab meat and mix well. Stir in the bread crumbs. The trick here is to blend with your hands without crushing the crab.. it should be blended but the lumps of crab visible. Shape crab into 6 patties or 12 if you are making small appetizers.
In a large skillet.. heat to medium high heat. We always use our cast iron skillet. Add the vegetable oil and wait till hot. Place the patties into the pan and fry until browned (usually about 4-5 minutes on each side). Flip onto other side and brown the same way.
Baltimore drink of choice: Natty Bo. If you don’t drink alcohol, a half and half.
GO RAVENS!!

Sorry, rb! I was writing out a post and didn’t see yours. Hugs, Mom
Howdy, howdy!
That’s great...
My wife makes the Crabcakes, so I don’t have a recipe.

Enjoy the game.
Each Marylander I know has their own recipe. I posted a general one for all those non-crab cake makers. I have seen verbal fights over Old Bay vs Wye River. I should probably post a Maryland crab soup recipe (or a she-crab soup) but I don’t want to start a Civil War. LOL!!
Looks like I’ll be doing Philly steaks (sliced rib eye) and wings. When I put that partially frozen hunk of rib eye on the slicer, I feel happy.
If only I could get Amaroso rolls in FL.
I do have a good, but complex wing sauce recipe that I developed over the years that I can post.
Better than the Thirsty Turtle wing sauce
My own concoction...
Ingredients:
1/2 lb.salted butter
24 oz. Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (no substitutions here. It has to be Frank’s)
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/4 cup minced sweet onion
1/4 cup minced jalapeno/habanero pepper
1/2 tlb. cayenne pepper
1/2 tlb. black pepper
1/2 tlb. white pepper
1/2 tlb. cumin
1.5 tlb. crushed red pepper
1 tlb. lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
3 tlbs. ketchup
Add butter and Red Hot Sauce to a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in in all dry spices (cayenne, black, crushed red, white pepper & cumin) along with the garlic, onion, and jalapeno.
Simmer for 20 minutes
Drop heat to low.
Add lemon juice, ketchup, and honey.
Let that sit for about 10-15 minutes on low.
Put the saucepan in the fridge for about 4-6 hours.
Cut the butter fat out with a knife and discard.
You should be left with a very thick sauce underneath.
Re-heat and toss with deep fried wings
A lot of the heat cooks off in this recipe. I use a LOT of habaneros and it doesn’t come out that hot. I need to add a few drops of a designer hot sauce to make it hot.
Oh... pooh, FlJoePa. I searched and searched for an Amaroso roll homemade recipe for you. Couldn’t find one... must be a well guarded secret.
Pizza Muffins:
12 (1 pkg) english muffins
1 jar pizza sauce
1 pound browned ground beef
1 package shredded mozzarella cheese
Italian herbs
Brown 1 Lb ground beef (extra lean)
Split muffins into halves and arrange on cookie sheet
spread pizza sauce on each muffin half
sprinkle ground beef and top each halve with mozzarella cheese and Italian herbs
Bake in oven at 400 for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and muffin edges are crisp.
Makes 24
Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.
If you're inviting another person, the recipe may be doubled.
It isn’t a Philly Steak if it isn’t on an Amaroso roll. Just an undeniable fact of life.
