CRAB BURGER WITH HERB MAYO

Crab Burger With Herb Mayo image

This is from our local state paper and I am saving it here so I can take it on holidays with us. I also think these could be good as mini burgers and served with a few difference dipping sauces eg the mayo, sweet chilli and or soy or even just with some lemon wedges.

Ingredients

400 g crabmeat (about 2-3 decent sized blueswimmer crabs)
1 cup breadcrumbs (day-old)
1/2 cup spring onion (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons parsley (flt-leaf chopped)
1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
salt (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or other crumbs)
vegetable oil (for shallow-frying)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (additional)
2 tablespoons herbs (fresh chopped, parsley, dill, basil or what you have)
1 baguette (cut into 4 sections and each split)
4 lettuce leaves
2 tomatoes (cut into slices)

Steps:

Combine the crab meat, day old crumbs, spring onions, parsley, garlic, seasoning and first lot of mayonnaise.
Mix together lightly and carefully shape into four patties - wet hands will help for this.
Then coast them with the panko crumbs (or other ones).
Heat a shallow layer of oil in a frypan and carefully brown the patties (to mixture is already cooked so you only need to brown and warm through) and be careful when turning.
For the Herb Mayo - simply combine the second lot of mayonnaise and the herbs.
mear the herb mayo over both sides of the split bread sections, leaving some in reserve.
Lay on the lettuce, tomato and crab burger, then finish with a blob of maylo on the top and top with other half of baquette slice and enjoy.
