I love Crab, I love Leeks and Italian pointed Peppers. So this was the thought , if I throw all the ingredients that I like together in a pot, it should work.
Did it work , well give it a go, see what you think😊

Steps

2 hours (with chilling)

1

Chop your pepper,shallot leeks, garlic cloves and parsley very finely, put all into a bowl
2

Add all the spices and all other ingredients,except the breadcrumbs the crab meat and flour. Set aside about one half of the breadcrumbs and add the other half to the other ingredients
3

Mix well with your hands, until all is combined add the crab meat and gently lift it under, so that it does not all end up being mashy
4

Put the mixture into the fridge for 45 minutes or so then form into small patties with your hands floured. Roll the patties carefully into the rest of the breadcrumbs, covering them completely, transfer the patties to a plate and cover with clingfilm, and chill for another 45 minutes, for all the flavours to combine
5

Heat some oil in pan and cook a few patties at a time only, for 4-5 minutes from each side until they are cooked and golden brown.
6

Remember that these are very delicate because of their texture, so be gentle with them. I served with caramalised lemon butter and fresh asparagus

This will serve 3 to 4 people depending on the size patty you make.
