SPICY CRAB CAKES
This recipe came to us by way of Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery. He believes beer and wine should always be served with food. And beer, he contends, is often the better choice. With these crab cakes, Mr. Oliver, an excellent cook who is widely-known for his successful beer-and-wine pairings, recommends an India pale ale. The bitterness of the hops plays nicely with the spiciness of the dish.

- Mince together the onion, cilantro, jalapeño and bell pepper. (If using a food processor, take care not to purée mixture.)

- Form mixture into two evenly sized balls, squeezing firmly, then press into burger shapes; if any bits come off, mold them back on. Rub cakes on both sides with remaining bread crumbs.
- Cover surface of a 10-inch skillet with oil; turn heat to medium-high and, a minute later, gently slide crab cakes into pan. Lower heat to medium, and cook until golden brown. Carefully flip them over and brown the other side; total cooking time will be about 10 minutes. Serve with an India pale ale.
