Crab Cake Tips -

Fresh Basil

Substitute your favorite fresh herb, such as rosemary or parsley for the basil to find a combination that goes well with everything on your menu.

Grated Lemon Peel

Substitute dried lemon peel, or fresh lemon juice for the lemon peel only if you absolutely have to, as the fresh zest adds nice flavor, color and texture color not found in dried lemon peel or lemon juice.
