Panko-Crusted Crab Cake Bites With Roasted Pepper-Chive Aioli image

This is from Sunset. Have not made it yet just posting for safe keeping The Japanese-style coarse bread crumbs called panko are available in many well-stocked supermarkets and in Asian grocery stores. You can make the aioli up to 2 days ahead and the crab cakes through step 3 up to 4 hours ahead; in both cases, cover and chill.

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces shelled cooked crabmeat
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
