Bite-size Crab Cakes

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15-18 minutes
Total Time: 35-40 minutes

The crab cakes can be assembled several hours ahead, cover and chill. The Aioli can be made 1- days ahead; cover and chill. They look great served on flat Asian-style soup spoons, too. Serve them with a glass of Chardonnay.

Directions

Crab cakes:
Sort through crab and discard any bits of shell.
In a large bowl, combine celery, minced chives, mayonnaise, egg, mustard, and hot sauce; mix well with a fork. Add crab and 1/4 cup panko; stir gently just to mix.
Put remaining 1 cup panko in a shallow bowl. Shape crab mixture into 24 cakes, each about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Turn each cake in panko to coat on all sides, pressing gently to make crumbs adhere. Place cakes slightly apart in an oiled 12- by 17-inch baking pan.
Bake at 475° until golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes. With a spatula, transfer crab cakes to a platter. Spoon a dollop of Roasted Pepper-Chive Aioli onto each cake. Garnish each crab cake with 2 crossed pieces of chives. Serve hot.
