1 egg
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 lemons, juiced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 1/2 ounces water biscuits ground
4 tablespoons butter (or as needed)
Cayenne Mayonnaise:
1 red bell pepper, roasted peeled and seeded
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 teaspoon capers
6 garlic cloves
8 anchovy fillets
1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup salad oil
salt to taste

- In a medium bowl place the celery, green onions, parsley, egg,
mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix the ingredients together
well.
- Add the salt, pepper, and ground biscuits. Gently mix the
ingredients together with your hands so that they are well combined.
- Carefully fold the crab meat into the mixture. Let the mixture sit
for 1/2 hour in the refrigerator.
- Form the mixture into patties.In a large skillet place the butter and heat it on medium
until it has melted. Sauté the crab cakes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden
brown.
Cayenne Mayonnaise:
- In a blender place the roasted red bell pepper, egg yolks, white wine vinegar, lemon juice,
capers, garlic, anchovy fillets, and cayenne pepper. Blend the ingredients together
so that they are smooth.
- With the blender still running, slowly dribble in the salad oil so
that a mayonnaise is formed. Correct the seasoning with the salt
(and more lemon juice) if necessary.
- Serve the crab cakes with the Cayenne Mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
