Crab Cakes

I made a batch of crab cakes for dinner last night. I've tried several recipes in the past and they all seemed to have too many ingredients with conflicting flavors. So I went simple in my recipe and made something similar to a really good batch Dre and I made (recipe here).

Ingredients
8 oz of crab meat (or whatever two cans amounts to)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1 clove of garlic, minced
3 tablespoons of mayo
1 egg
1/4 cup grated parmesan/romano
4 teaspoons of chives (fresh or dried)
1/2 teaspoon of ginger
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
black pepper

Mix ingredients together and pan fry in canola oil. I really like the flavor of the bell pepper in them.

We ate them with a squeeze of lemon juice on top, although the aoili from this recipe is really good.
