directions
Prepare Chipotle Mayonnaise.
Place crabmeat in sieve; pick through to remove any cartilage.
Press firmly to remove liquid.
Transfer to large bowl.
Add red and green peppers, onions, egg, 2 tablespoons (25 mL) of the bread crumbs and 3 tablespoons (50 mL) of the chipotle mayonnaise; stir until well combined.
Sprinkle remaining bread crumbs in shallow dish.
Form crabmeat mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls (15 mL) into balls; roll in bread crumbs.
Place balls on waxed paper-lined baking sheet; flatten to 2-inch (5 cm) diameter. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours).
In nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; cook crab cakes, in batches and adding enough of the remaining oil as necessary, for 3 minutes per side or until golden.
Serve with Chipotle Mayonnaise.
Wearing rubber gloves, finely chop Chipotle peppers.
In small bowl, whisk together chipotles, mayonnaise, adobo sauce and Worcestershire sauce; set aside.
