Carol kicked off her Come Dine With Me Torbay menu with these crabmeat cakes
1. Put the crabmeat and 270g of the breadcrumbs into a large bowl. Add the lemon juice, egg yolks and plenty of salt and pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are combined into a thick paste.
2. Scatter the remaining breadcrumbs over a plate. Take a handful of the crab mixture and form into a ball. Pat fairly flat and coat lightly in the reserved breadcrumbs. Put on a small tray lined with baking parchment. Repeat with the remaining mixture until you have made six good-sized crab cakes. Cover tray with clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the crab cakes gently for 5-6 minutes on each side until nicely browned and hot throughout. Serve with a salad garnish and lemon wedges for squeezing.
Please note this recipe is the contestant's own and has not been tested professionally. Like the Come Dine With Me contestants, you could be creating a culinary delight or dining disaster, so switch on your ovens and be bold.
