Recipe: Caveman Crab Cakes (for Carnivores)

A container of crab meat has been sitting in my fridge for a long, long time, so today it was time to find a way to use it. I really wasn't sure if just crab meat and egg yolk could turn into anything of note, but would you look at that...


Ingredients:

140g crab meat (that's the size of the containers in Australia at least...)
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon of preferred herbs/spices (I chose paprika, thyme and fennel seeds)
2T lard

Method:

Mix crab meat, egg yolks and herbs in a bowl.


Heat lard in a large frying pan.

While the fat heats, take tablespoonfuls of crab mixture and roll and press in your hands to make flat, round patties about a centimetre (half and inch) thick.

Place patties in frying pan for a couple of minutes until edges brown and crisp up, then flip carefully with a spatula to brown the other side.

Delicious served warm and plain, and I bet they'd also be lovely with some mayonnaise or topped with a slice of tomato for the primal non-carnivore.
