Steps:
- Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl.
- Add the crab meat, spring onion, mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce and breadcrumbs and stir well.
- Season, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- To make the avocado salsa, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season with kosher sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, and toss gently to combine.
- Using wet hands, form the crab mixture into 20 small flat cakes.
- Heat about 1 1/4 inches oil in a large heavy-based pan and cook the crab cakes over medium heat for about 3 minutes each side, or until golden brown on both sides.
- Drain well on paper towels or brown paper, and serve immediately, with avocado salsa to spoon onto the top.
- NOTE: In America, what we term as the Spring onion has a slightly more and defined bulb and is typically larger than the slender and more delicate green onion (scallion). The flavor has more bite and is somewhat hotter.
- IN ADVANCE: the crab mixture can be made a day ahead, then covered and refrigerated. Prepare the salsa close to serving time.

MINI CRAB CAKES WITH MANGO SALSA
Steps:
- For the crab cakes: Whisk together the mayonnaise, Worcestershire, seafood seasoning, scallions, egg, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the bread and toss to coat.
- Add the crab and combine the mixture well with your hands. Form 18 small crab cakes, about 2 inches wide and 1/2-inch thick, making sure to pack the cakes tightly with your hands.
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides. Working in batches, add the crab cakes and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and heated through, about 3 minutes per side.
- For the mango salsa: Combine the cilantro, sugar, cucumber, lemon juice, mango and jalapeno in a medium bowl and season with salt.
- For the creamy Dijon: Combine the mayonnaise and Dijon in a small bowl and mix well.
- Serve the hot crab cakes topped with a dollop of the creamy Dijon and a little of the salsa.
MINI CRAB CAKES WITH CHERRY TOMATO AND CORN SALSA
I love crab cakes and these are very good especially with the salsa. I did not serve this in individual portions, but rather all on one platter as an appetizer, with the salsa on the side. The cook time includes the chilling time for the salsa.

Steps:
- For the Avocado Sauce, combine the avocado, sour cream, cilantro, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth. Chill, covered, until serving time.
- For the crab cakes, reserve half the bell peppers and half the scallions for the garnish. Combine the remaining bell peppers, remaining scallions, cilantro, crab meat, salt, pepper, thyme and Tabasco sauce in a bowl and mix gently. Stir in the mayonnaise. Add the bread crumbs and toss lightly.
